Mercury(II) reductase
text:
Mercury(II) reductase (EC 1.16.1.1), commonly known as MerA, is an oxidoreductase enzyme and flavoprotein that catalyzes the reduction of Hg2+ to Hg0. Mercury(II) reductase is found in the cytoplasm of many eubacteria in both aerobic and anaerobic environments and serves to convert toxic mercury ions into relatively inert elemental mercury.
