Description
This enzyme, which is found in thermophilic microorganisms, contains one mononuclear none-heme iron centre per subunit. Elemental sulfur is both the electron donor and one of the two known acceptors, the other being oxygen. Thiosulfate is also observed as a product, but is likely formed non-enzymically by a reaction between sulfite and sulfur. This enzyme differs from EC 1.13.11.18, sulfur dioxygenase and EC 1.12.98.4, sulfhydrogenase, in that both activities occur simultaneously.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC~-80 ºC.
Synonyms
SOR; sulfur oxygenase; sulfur oxygenase reductase
Reaction
4 sulfur + 4 H2O + O2 = 2 hydrogen sulfide + 2 sulfite
