Kinetic consequences of the endogenous ligand to molybdenum in the DMSO reductase family: a case study with periplasmic nitrate reductase.

Abstract excerpt

The molybdopterin enzyme family catalyzes a variety of substrates and plays a critical role in the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, arsenic, and selenium. The dimethyl sulfoxide reductase (DMSOR) subfamily is the most diverse family of molybdopterin enzymes and the members of this family catalyze a myriad of reactions that are important in microbial life processes. Enzymes in the DMSOR family can transform multiple...
