Application

  • The DmsABC S-oxide reductase is an essential component of a novel, hypochlorite-inducible system of extracellular stress defense in Haemophilus influenzae: This study illustrates the enzymatic action of L-Methionine sulfoxide reductase in bacterial defense systems, underscoring its biotechnological applications in developing antimicrobial strategies (Nasreen et al., 2024).

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Methionine sulfoxide, a structural analog of glutamate, may be used as a substrate to study the specificity and kinetics of various methionine sulfoxide reductase(s).
