Retinol dehydratase is a sulfotransferase which is presumed to catalyze the dehydration of its substrate via a transient retinyl sulfate intermediate. Crystals (space group P2(1), unit-cell parameters a = 82.05, b = 66.61, c = 84.90 A, beta = 111.29 degrees ) are significantly improved by covalent modification of the protein with ethylmercury.
