Molybdopterin
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: The molybdenum cofactor in nitrate reductase is bound to a cofactor containing a pteridine ring, which is quite distinct from the structure of FeMo-co.

In fact, all known molybdenum-requiring enzymes except nitrogenase contain a structure similar to that of this molybdopterin, in which the Mo center shows a pyramidal geometry.
