The german Wiki entry holds that it is a copper enzyme, here it is stated that it does not contain a metal ion. Please resolve. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.82.184.151 (talk) 10:29, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Per this page:
This enzyme was previously thought to be a copper protein, but it is now known that the enzymes from soy bean (Glycine max), the mould Aspergillus flavus and Bacillus subtilis contains no copper nor any other transition-metal ion.
Hope that helps! – ClockworkSoul 21:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
