Atomistic and thermodynamic characterization of the capabilities of bacterial sulfide:quinone reductase on the conversion of pollutant sulfide to elemental sulfur

Project funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P. (FCT) (FCT_CPCA_2023_01), grant 2023.10904.CPCA.A2. Funded amount: EUR 31,260, as stated by the source. Runs 2024-06-01 to 2025-05-31. Keywords: Hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide are amongst the top sulfur pollutants known , it is appealing to retrieve these pollutant sulfur forms as non-pollutant ones, lowering the environmental impact from sulfur pollution and profiting from the p, the elemental sulfur feedstock can be used by industries such as fertilizer, pharma or energy. On the road to new green routes able to decrease energetic and, enzymes such as sulfide:quinone reductase (SQR) can be seen as promising targets.
