1.8.4.8 adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + sulfite + thioredoxin disulfide = 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + thioredoxin special ping-pong mechanism with 5-phosphoadenosine 3-phosphosulfate reacting with the reduced enzyme isomer in a Theorell-Chance mechanism 1.8.4.8 adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + sulfite + thioredoxin disulfide = 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + thioredoxin from the kinetic data it is concluded that the enzyme follows an ordered mechanism with thioredoxin as the first substrate followed by 5-phosphoadenosine 3-phosphosulfate as the second 1.8.4.8 adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + sulfite + thioredoxin disulfide = 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + thioredoxin ping pong type reaction mechanism 1.8.4.8 adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + sulfite + thioredoxin disulfide = 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + thioredoxin ping pong type reaction mechanism, Cys239 is the active site residue
