2'-hydroxybiphenyl-2-sulfinate desulfinase
In enzymology, a 2'-hydroxybiphenyl-2-sulfinate desulfinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 2'-hydroxybiphenyl-2-sulfinate and H2O, whereas its two products are 2-hydroxybiphenyl and sulfite.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon-sulfur bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2'-hydroxybiphenyl-2-sulfinate sulfohydrolase. Other names in common use include gene dszB-encoded hydrolase, 2- benzenesulfinate:H2O hydrolase, DszB, HBPSi desulfinase, 2- benzenesulfinate sulfohydrolase, HPBS desulfinase, 2-benzenesulfinate hydrolase, 2-benzenesulfinate desulfinase, and 2-benzenesulfinate desulfinase.As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes,, and.
