Structural and biochemical studies of sulphotransferase 18 from Arabidopsis thaliana explain its substrate specificity and reaction mechanism

Abstract Sulphotransferases are a diverse group of enzymes catalysing the transfer of a sulfuryl group from 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulphate (PAPS) to a broad range of secondary metabolites. They exist in all kingdoms of life. In Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. twenty-two sulphotransferase (S...
