Copper ion is required as a cofactor for galactose oxidase. A remarkable feature of galactose oxidase is that it is a free radical enzyme. Its catalytic site contains a free radical ligand coordinating to the copper center. This free radical ligand is a covalently cross-linked cysteine and tyrosine side chains that is formed during post-translational modification.
