In silico comparative structural and functional analysis of arsenite methyltransferase from bacteria, fungi, fishes, birds, and mammals

Abstract Background Arsenic, a ubiquitous toxic metalloid, is a threat to the survival of all living organisms. Bioaccumulation of arsenic interferes with the normal physiological pathway. To overcome arsenic toxicity, organisms have developed arsenite methyltransferase enzyme, which methylates inor...
