| Abstract: | The Sulfurtransferases. Westley, J., Adler, H., Westley, L.and Nishida, C. (1983). Fundam. Appl. Toxicol. 3: 377–381The sulfurtransferases are a group of proteins that catalyzethe formation, interconversion and reactions of compounds containingsulfane sulfur atoms. Serum albumin has properties that implicateit as a major potential sulfur carrier/transferase. The relevanceof the sulfane pool system as a whole to cyanide detoxicationappears clear. The mechanisms of action of the various componentsat the molecular level are still under investigation. |
