Further studies have shown that this inhibitor reacts with compounds containing a free thiol group and as such it is capable of inhibiting other enzymes that contain a functional thiol group at their active site. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-129-3-735
