physiological function |
toluene-producing enzyme PhdB is a glycyl radical enzyme of bacterial origin that catalyzes phenylacetate decarboxylation. Its cognate activating enzyme is PhdA, a radical S-adenosylmethionine enzyme, discovered in two distinct anoxic microbial communities that produce toluene |
