Multicopper Oxidases and Oxygenases
TL;DR: Copper sites have historically been divided into three classes based on their spectroscopic features, which reflect the geometric and electronic structure of the active site: type 1 or blue copper, type 2 (T2) or normal copper, and type 3 (T3) or coupled binuclear copper centers.
