Comments
The enzyme from?Chlorella?shows very little activity towards monothiols such as glutathione and cysteine (cf.?EC?2.8.1.3?thiosulfate¡ªthiol sulfurtransferase). The enzyme probably transfers the sulfur atom onto one thiol group to form -S-S?, and sulfide is spontaneously expelled from this by reaction with the other thiol group. May be identical with EC?2.8.1.1?thiosulfate sulfurtransferase.
