Crystal structures of copper-containing amine oxidases (CAOs) have been solved from eubacteria, plants, yeasts and mammals including humans, but interestingly not from archaea or mycobacteria (Table 9.1). The structures are remarkably conserved

(Table 9.2) both in the core catalytic domains and also in the peripheral domains that presently have no known function.
