Cysteine Dioxygenase: The Importance of Key Residues and Insight into the Mechanism of the Metal Center
Cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) is a non-heme iron enzyme that can be found in mammalian tissue. It is mainly localized in the liver but is also present in the brain, kidney, and adipose tissue. CDO converts cysteine to cysteine sulfinic acid, which is the first step in cysteine metabolism in the human b...
