== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/AIOA_ALCFA AIOA_ALCFA] Involved in the detoxification of arsenic. Oxidizes As(III)O3(3-) (arsenite) to the somewhat less toxic As(V)O4(3-) (arsenate).

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Arsenic contamination of groundwater is among one of the biggest health threats affecting millions of people in the world. There is an urgent need for efficient arsenic biosensors where the use of arsenic metabolizing enzymes can be explored. In this work, we have solved four crystal structures of arsenite oxidase (Aio) in complex with arsenic and antimony oxyanions and the structures determined correspond to intermediate states of the enzymatic mechanism. These structural data were complemented with density-functional theory calculations providing a unique view of the molybdenum active site at different time points that, together with mutagenesis data, enabled to clarify the enzymatic mechanism and the molecular determinants for the oxidation of As(III) to the less toxic As(V) species.
