| methionine sulfoxide reductase | <enzyme> Do not confuse with msra gene product from staphylococcus Registry number: EC 1.- Synonym: msra gene product, e. Coli, peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase, peptide msra gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| methyl sulfoxide reductase | <enzyme> Reduces methyl sulfoxide group to methyl sulfide on various xenobiotics Registry number: EC 1.8.99.- Synonym: methyl sulfoxide reductase I, methyl sulfoxide reductase II (26 Jun 1999) |
| dimethyl sulfoxide | <chemical> An alkyl sulfoxide that is practically odourless in its purified form. As a highly polar organic liquid, it is a powerful solvent. Its biologic activities include the ability to penetrate plant and animal tissues and to preserve living cells during freezing. It has been used investigationally as a topical analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent, and as an agent to increase the penetrability of other substances. It is available as a 50 percent solution for direct instillation into the bladder for treatment of interstitial cystitis. Pharmacological action: anti-inflammatory agent, topical, cryoprotective agents. Chemical name: Methane, sulfinylbis- (12 Dec 1998) |
| dimethyl sulfoxide reductase | <enzyme> From anaerobically grown E coli; reduced fmn and fad or methyl viologen can serve as electron donors Registry number: EC 1.8.99.- Synonym: dimethylsulfoxide reductase, dmso reductase, dora gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
