In silico analysis of phylogeny, structure, and function of arsenite oxidase from unculturable microbiome of arsenic contaminated soil

Abstract Background Arsenite oxidase (EC 1.20.2.1) is a metalloenzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of arsenite into lesser toxic arsenate. In this study, 78 amino acid sequences of arsenite oxidase from unculturable bacteria available in metagenomic data of arsenic-contaminated soil have been charac...
