Catalytic Site Cysteines of Thiol Enzyme: Sulfurtransferases [PDF]
Journal of Amino Acids, 2011 Thiol enzymes have single- or double-catalytic site cysteine residues and are redox active. Oxidoreductases and isomerases contain double-catalytic site cysteine residues, which are oxidized to a disulfide via a sulfenyl intermediate and reduced to a ...

Plant mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferases [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 2000 Mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (MST, EC 2.8.1.2) and thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (TST, rhodanese, EC 2.8.1.1) are evolutionarily related enzymes that catalyze the transfer of sulfur ions from mercaptopyruvate and thiosulfate, respectively, to cyanide ions.

Structural and functional characterization of sulfurtransferase from Frondihabitans sp. PAMC28461. [PDF]
PLoS ONESulfurtransferases transfer of sulfur atoms from thiols to acceptors like cyanide. They are categorized as thiosulfate sulfurtransferases (TSTs) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferases (MSTs). TSTs transfer sulfur from thiosulfate to cyanide, producing

Enzymatic activity of the Arabidopsis sulfurtransferase resides in the C-terminal domain but is boosted by the N-terminal domain and the linker peptide in the full-length enzyme [PDF]
, 2005 Sulfurtransferases/rhodaneses are a group of enzymes widely distributed in plants, animals, and bacteria that catalyze the transfer of sulfur from a donor molecule to a thiophilic acceptor substrate.
