We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Introduction

Dimethylsulfoniopropionate-Dependendent Demethylase A (DmdA) is an enzyme produced by marine bacterioplankton in order to demethylate Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP).

Structure

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 Action

The specific mechanism of DmdA is still being investigated. However, a mechanism was recently proposed [2]
