Plastocyanin, also called blue copper protein, is a copper-containing protein involved in electron-transfer:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastocyanin The model is of the Cu II form of plastocyanin, with four ligands to the copper (II) ion. These are N(His37) S(Cys84) N(His87) and S(Met92). Model of Plastocyanin from Poplar based on the Protein Data Bank entry 1PLC:
