Reaction mechanism of azoreductases suggests convergent evolution with quinone oxidoreductases
Azoreductases are involved in the bioremediation by bacteria of azo dyes found in waste water. In the gut flora, they activate azo pro-drugs, which are used for the treatment of inflammatory bowerl disease, releasing the active component 5-aminosalycilic acid. The bacterium <em>P. aeruginosa,/...
