| Accepted name: |
sulfite reductase (coenzyme F420) |
| Reaction: |
hydrogen sulfide + 3 oxidized coenzyme F420 + 3 H2O = sulfite + 3 reduced coenzyme F420 |
| Other name(s): |
coenzyme F420-dependent sulfite reductase; Fsr |
| Systematic name: |
hydrogen sulfide:coenzyme F420 oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, isolated from the archaeon Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, is involved in sulfite detoxification and assimilation. |
