A widely distributed metalloenzyme class enables gut microbial metabolism of host- and diet-derived catechols. [PDF]
Catechol dehydroxylation is a central chemical transformation in the gut microbial metabolism of plant- and host-derived small molecules. However, the molecular basis for this transformation and its distribution among gut microorganisms are poorly ...
