During the last decades a large number of flavin-dependent monooxygenases have been
isolated and studied. This has revealed that flavoprotein monooxygenases are able to …

Flavoenzymes are colourful oxidoreductases that catalyze a large variety of different types of
reactions. Flavoenzymes have been extensively studied for their structural and mechanistic …

LadA, a long-chain alkane monooxygenase, utilizes a terminal oxidation pathway for the
conversion of long-chain alkanes (up to at least C36) to corresponding primary alcohols in …

Sulfoquinovose (SQ), a derivative of glucose with a C6-sulfonate, is produced by
photosynthetic organisms and is the headgroup of the sulfolipid sulfoquinovosyl …

The FMN-dependent two-component monooxygenase systems catalyze a diverse range of
reactions. These two-component systems are composed of an FMN reductase enzyme and …

The synthesis of L-cysteine from inorganic sulfur is the predominant mechanism by which
reduced sulfur is incorporated into organic compounds. L-cysteineis used for protein and …

Catabolism of sulfoquinovose (SQ; 6-deoxy-6-sulfoglucose), the ubiquitous sulfosugar
produced by photosynthetic organisms, is an important component of the biogeochemical …

Mupirocin is a clinically important antibiotic produced by a trans‐AT Type I polyketide
synthase (PKS) in Pseudomonas fluorescens. The major bioactive metabolite, pseudomonic …

Heavy oil and petroleum refining residues usually contain high concentrations of recalcitrant
hazardous organosulfur compounds, causing long-term serious global environmental …

Publisher Summary Sulfur is an absolute requirement for growth of all organisms. Its most
important role is in the amino acids, cysteine and methionine, in proteins, where cysteine …
