Arsenite oxidase in complex with antimonite and arsenite oxyanions: Insights into the catalytic mechanism

Crystal structures of arsenite oxidase with arsenic or antimony oxyanions. Sb(III) is oxidized about 6,500 times more slowly than As(III) (PDF p.1).

Key numbers

Crystal structures of arsenite oxidase with arsenic or antimony oxyanions. Sb(III) is oxidized about 6,500 times more slowly than As(III) (PDF p.1).

Methods (brief)

In vitro enzymology.

Evidence fitness

Supports a shared active site and the rate comparison. Does not support an effect on a microbiome.

Limitations

Not an exposure study.
