Abstract excerpt

Available mutants of molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) biosynthesis of Neurospora crassa were studied for converting factor activity and for in vitro molybdate repair of nitrate reductase (NR) activity. Mutant nit-7 was found to contain an activity that fits the functional definition of converting facto...
