DMSO reductase
CLASS OF ENZYMES
Dimethyl sulfoxide reductase; Dimethyl sulphoxide reductase; Dimethylsulfoxide reductase; Dimethylsulphoxide reductase; EC 1.8.5.3; Dimethyl sulfide:menaquinone oxidoreductase
DMSO reductase is a molybdenum-containing enzyme that catalyzes reduction of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to dimethyl sulfide (DMS). This enzyme serves as the terminal reductase under anaerobic conditions in some bacteria, with DMSO being the terminal electron acceptor.
