IntroductionIntroduction
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate-Dependendent Demethylase A (DmdA) is an enzyme produced by marine bacterioplankton in order to demethylate Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP).
StructureStructure
The structure of DmdA was recently solved through X-Ray Diffraction [1]. The structure contains 369 amino acids folded into four domains and containing two ligands.
Mechanism of ActionMechanism of Action
The specific mechanism of DmdA is still being investigated. However, a mechanism was recently proposed [2]
