Abstract excerpt
The molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is an essential redox cofactor found in all kingdoms of life. Genetic mutations in the human Moco biosynthetic enzymes lead to a fatal metabolic disorder, Moco deficiency (MoCD). Greater than 50% of all human MoCD patients have mutations in MOCS1A, a radical S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) enzyme involved in the conversion of guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) into cyclic pyranopterin...
