Function
NIR_THIND Catalyzes the reduction of nitrite to ammonia, consuming six electrons in the process (PubMed:16500161, PubMed:22281743). Has very low activity toward hydroxylamine (PubMed:16500161). Has even lower activity toward sulfite (PubMed:16500161, PubMed:22281743). Sulfite reductase activity is maximal at neutral pH (PubMed:20944237).[1] [2] [3]
