In enzymology, a sulfhydrogenase (EC 1.12.98.4), also known as sulfur reductase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of elemental sulfur or polysulfide to hydrogen sulfide using hydrogen as electron donor.[1]
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is H2:polysulfide oxidoreductase.
