Based on the study by Leatham and Stabmann concerned with the rates (v) of amines and phenolic compounds oxidation catalyzed by laccase of basidiomycete Lentinus edodes (Berk.) Sing., as well as on the results of semiempirical quantum chemical computations using the PM3 method, the linear correlations of v and lnv values with first vertical ionization potentials of the substrates molecules and radicals derived from them, spin densities on N and O atoms of the above radicals, and with the radicals reorganization energies have been found.
