Abstract excerpt
Sulfation of biomolecules, which is widely observed from bacteria to humans, plays critical roles in many biological processes. All sulfation reactions in all organisms require activated sulfate, 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS), as a universal donor. In animals, PAPS is synthesized from ATP and inorganic sulfate by the bifunctional enzyme, PAPS synthase. In mammals, genetic defects in PAPS synthase...
