the enzyme exists as both monomers and multimers that are associated with high and low enzymatic activity, respectively. Several oxidant-sensitive cysteine residues of the C-terminal catalytic domain are involved in enzyme oligomerization, but cysteines in the non-catalytic region of the enzyme (i.e. amino acids 1 to 337), as well as Cys359, Cys392, Cys420, Cys425, and Cys457 in the beginning of the catalytic domain, do not participate in oligomerization.
