In enzymology a cysteine desulfurase (EC 2.8.1.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionL-cysteine + [enzyme]-cysteine L-alanine + [enzyme]-S-sulfanylcysteineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are L-cysteine and [[[enzyme]-cysteine]] whereas its two products are L-alanine and [[[enzyme]-S-sulfanylcysteine]].This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically the sulfurtransferases which transfer sulfur-containing groups.
