Molybdenum is a chemical element; it has symbol Mo and atomic number 42. The name is derived from Ancient Greek μόλυβδος mólybdos, meaning lead, since its ores were sometimes confused with those of le
Xanthine oxidase
…and each subunit has a molecular weight of roughly 145 kDa. Each active site consists of a flavin molecule (bound as FAD), a Moco cofactor containing a molybdenum atom, and 2 [2Fe-2S] clusters containing 4 iron atoms. The Moco cofactors are the active sites of the enzyme, where oxidation occurs. The [2Fe-2S…
