desulfurases
Desulfurases are a class of enzymes that play a crucial role in the biological desulfurization of organic compounds. These enzymes catalyze the removal of sulfur-containing groups from various substrates, resulting in the production of sulfur-free or low-sulfur compounds. The desulfurization process is an essential step in the treatment and remediation of pollutants in the environment, as well as the production of various industrial chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
Desulfurases are typically classified into two main categories: oxidative desulfurases and reductive desulfurases. Oxidative desulfurases use
The catalytic mechanism of desulfurases typically involves the formation of a covalent intermediate between the enzyme
Research on desulfurases has significant implications for biotechnology and environmental remediation. These enzymes have the potential
