CS2 hydrolase, a zinc-dependent enzyme that converts carbon disulfide to carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, exists as a mixture of octameric ring and hexadecameric catenane forms in solution. A combination of size exclusion chromatography, multi-angle laser light scattering, and mass spectrometric analyses revealed that the unusual catenane structure is not an artefact, but a naturally occurring structure.
