Synthesis, Redox and Spectroscopic Properties of Pterin of Molybdenum Cofactors
Molecules, 2022 Pterins are bicyclic heterocycles that are found widely across Nature and are involved in a variety of biological functions. Notably, pterins are found at the core of molybdenum cofactor (Moco) containing enzymes in the molybdopterin (MPT) ligand that ...
