Abstract excerpt
Rhodaneses are known to catalyze in vitro the transfer of a sulfane sulfur atom from thiosulfate to cyanide with concomitant formation of thiocyanate, however, their biological functions remain speculative despite the main role is considered as detoxifying cyanide especially in animal livers. In this study, we characterized a single-domain rhodanese homologue, MnRDH1, from Macrobrachium nipponense. We found...
