Synthesis, Redox and Spectroscopic Properties of Pterin of Molybdenum Cofactors [PDF]

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 ...

Effect of foliar application of microelements on chlorophyll content, canopy architecture indicators, and physiological parameters of Hordeum vulgare L. plants [PDF]

PeerJ
Background The availability of nutrients determines the proper development and yield of plants. Microelements play an important role primarily as cofactors of important enzymes in the metabolic and physiological processes of plants.

Case Report: Compound Heterozygous Variants in MOCS3 Identified in a Chinese Infant With Molybdenum Cofactor Deficiency

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Background: The molybdenum cofactor (Moco) deficiency in humans results in the inactivity of molybdenum-dependent enzymes and is caused by pathogenic variants in MOCS1 (Molybdenum cofactor synthesis 1), MOCS2 (Molybdenum cofactor synthesis 2), and GPHN ...

Influence of sulfide on diazotrophic growth of the methanogen Methanococcus maripaludis and its implications for the origin of nitrogenase

Communications Biology, 2023
Methanogens inhabit euxinic (sulfide-rich) or ferruginous (iron-rich) environments that promote the precipitation of transition metals as metal sulfides, such as pyrite, reducing metal or sulfur availability. Such environments have been common throughout

The Influence of Micronutrient Trace Metals on Microcystis aeruginosa Growth and Toxin Production

Toxins, 2022
Microcystis aeruginosa is a widespread cyanobacteria capable of producing hepatotoxic microcystins. Understanding the environmental factors that influence its growth and toxin production is essential to managing the negative effects on freshwater systems.

Structural basis of thermal stability of the tungsten cofactor synthesis protein MoaB from Pyrococcus furiosus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Molybdenum and tungsten cofactors share a similar pterin-based scaffold, which hosts an ene-dithiolate function being essential for the coordination of either molybdenum or tungsten.

The Requirement of Inorganic Fe-S Clusters for the Biosynthesis of the Organometallic Molybdenum Cofactor

Inorganics, 2020
Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters are essential protein cofactors. In enzymes, they are present either in the rhombic [2Fe-2S] or the cubic [4Fe-4S] form, where they are involved in catalysis and electron transfer and in the biosynthesis of metal-containing ...

Discriminating Susceptibility of Xanthine Oxidoreductase Family to Metals

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
The xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) family are metal-containing enzymes that use the molybdenum cofactor (Moco), 2Fe-2S clusters, and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) for their catalytic activity.
