Absorption, circular dichroism, electron spin resonance and resonance Raman spectra of a blue copper protein, plantacyanin from cucumber peel have been measured and these spectral properties compared with those of other blue copper proteins. From the spectral properties, amino acid analysis and redox potential, we discuss the active site and redox properties of this protein.
