Description
Requires iron(II). If Ni2+ is bound instead of iron(II), the reaction catalysed by EC 1.13.11.53, acireductone dioxygenase (Ni2+-requiring), occurs instead. The enzyme from the bacterium Klebsiella oxytoca (formerly Klebsiella pneumoniae) ATCC strain 8724 is involved in the methionine salvage pathway.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
