Abstract excerpt
All molybdoenzymes other than nitrogenase require molybdopterin as a metal-binding cofactor. Several genes necessary for the synthesis of the molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) have been characterized in bacteria and plants. The proteins encoded by the Escherichia coli genes moaA and moaC catalyse the first steps in MoCo synthesis. The human homologues of these genes are therefore candidate genes for molybdenum cofactor...
