Biochemical and Structural Properties of a Thermostable Mercuric Ion Reductase from Metallosphaera sedula

Mercuric ion reductase (MerA), a mercury detoxification enzyme, has been tuned by evolution to have high specificity for mercuric ions (Hg(2+)) and to catalyze their reduction to a more volatile, less toxic elemental form. Here, we present a biochemical and structural characterization of MerA from t...
