Arsenate reductase (cytochrome c)

Arsenate reductase (cytochrome c) (, arsenite oxidase) is an enzyme with systematic name arsenite:cytochrome c oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * arsenite + H2O + 2 oxidized cytochrome c $$\rightleftharpoons$$ arsenate + 2 reduced cytochrome c + 2 H+

Arsenate reductase is a molybdoprotein isolated from alpha-proteobacteria that contains iron-sulfur clusters.
