34. The imidazole ring orientation used in the calculations was similar to that in the plastocyanin crystal structure; small deviations in ring orientation from the crystal structure of plastocyanin are due to placing the Cu in the trigonal plane.

53. 2+ at low temperature arises from C-terms. C-term intensity requires polarization in two perpendicular directions. However, the low symmetry of the blue copper site removes all orbital degeneracy; therefore, transitions are polarized in only one direction. For low-symmetry sites, the only mechanism for C-term intensity involves spin - orbit coupling between states that mix their orthogonal polarizations.

67. This is in contrast to the 42% Cu character in plastocyanin determined experimentally from Cu L-edge spectroscopy. The difference between the calculated and experimental Cu character most likely relates to the effects of charge partitioning in the intersphere region and sphere overlap in the calculations.

The quantitative difference (3%) in S character between these two plastocyanin calculations is due to differences in charge partitioning in the intersphere regions and differences in sphere overlap.

71. Relative to intermediate structure B, the small shift in the energy of the xy orbital for the final fungal laccase model likely results from the small increase in the N-Cu-N angle, which places the Cu-N bonds slightly closer to the xy orbital, thereby increasing the antibonding interaction.
