Brief comparison of laccase/peroxidase-substrate oxidation per catalytic cycle.

Laccase	Peroxidase
(Aromatic ↔ Aromatic * + e−)	(Aromatic ↔ Aromatic * + e−)
(4e− + 4H+ + O2 ↔ 2H2O)	(2e− + 2H+ + H2O2 ↔ 2H2O)
4 Aromatic + 4H+ + O2 ↔ 4Aromatic * + 2H2O	→ 2Aromatic + 2H+ + H2O2 ↔ 2Aromatic * + 2H2O

* = oxidised aromatic substance.
