Application

Rhodanese (RHOD) is an enzyme that converts cyanide to thiocyanate. RHOD may be useful in ulcerative colitis (UC) research as it has been shown to have detoxifying properties in the colon . Rhodanese is used to study sulfur energy metabolism .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Rhodanese (RHOD) is the principal enzyme involved in hydrogen sulphide (H2S) detoxication in the colonic luman .

Other Notes

One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of cyanide to thiocyanate per min at pH 8.6 at 25°C.

Cell-free protein synthesis is a promising technique for the rapid production of proteins. However, the application of the cell-free systems requires the development of an artificial chaperone that prevents aggregation of the protein and supports its correct folding. Here, nanogel-based

Cyanide is one of the most toxic substances present in a wide variety of food materials that are consumed by animals. Rhodanese, a ubiquitous enzyme, can catalyse the detoxification of cyanide by sulphuration reaction. In this study, rhodanese was partially
