Ni(II)-pyridinium-3,5-bisthiocarboxylate mononucleotide = pyridinium-3,5-bisthiocarboxylate mononucleotide + Ni2+
Other name(s)
LarC, P2TMN nickel chelatase
Systematic name
Ni(II)-pyridinium-3,5-bisthiocarboxylate mononucleotide nickel-lyase (pyridinium-3,5-bisthiocarboxylate-mononucleotide-forming)
