Discovery of dimethylsulfoxonium propionate lyases - a missing enzyme relevant to the global sulfur cycle.

Published in: Organic & biomolecular chemistry (2023)

Six dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) lyases have been shown to cleave the marine sulfur metabolite dimethylsulfoxonium propionate (DMSOP) into DMSO and acrylate. This discovery characterises a missing enzyme relevant to the global sulfur cycle.
