Structural highlights

Function

SQRD_ACIF2 Catalyzes the oxidation of hydrogen sulfide, with the help of a quinone. Consecutive reaction cycles lead to the accumulation of a polysulfide product on the active site Cys residues; these products are released when they exceed a critical length, typically as cyclooctasulfur.^{[1] [2]}
