FIGURE 8. Proposed reaction mechanism for sulfite oxidase.
Schematic presentation of the reaction mechanism for the
oxidation of sulfite to sulfate. A, oxidized Mo center. B, the
Mo(IV)-sulfate adduct formed after an attack of sulfite on the
equatorial oxo group. C, the free reduced Mo(IV) center after
release of sulfate.
