Structural highlights

Function

DSTOR_RHOCA Catalyzes the reduction of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) to dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and trimethylamine, respectively. The terminal DMSO reductase can also use various sulfoxides and N-oxide compounds as terminal electron acceptor in addition to DMSO and TMAO.^{[1] [2]}
