| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Elemental sulfur is both the electron donor and one of the two known
acceptors, the other being oxygen.
- Another reaction product is thiosulfate, but this is probably formed
non-enzymically at elevated temperature from sulfite and sulfur.
- This enzyme differs from EC 1.13.11.18 and EC 1.97.1.3 in that both
activities are found together.
