'''Cysteine desulfurase''' (Suf) catalyzes the conversion of L-cysteine to L-alanine and sulfane sulfur. Suf has a role in the biosynthesis of Fe-S custers, thiamine, thionucleosides, biotin, lipoic acid, molybdopterin and NAD<ref>PMID:12382038</ref>. Suf is a PLP-dependent enzyme. | '''Cysteine desulfurase''' (Suf) catalyzes the conversion of L-cysteine to L-alanine and sulfane sulfur.
