General Information
Term Mo-molybdopterin cofactor biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0006777 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of the Mo-molybdopterin cofactor, essential for the catalytic activity of some enzymes. The cofactor consists of a mononuclear molybdenum (Mo) ion coordinated by one or two molybdopterin ligands.[ PubMed:22370186 PubMed:23201473 ]
Also Known As "Mo-molybdopterin cofactor anabolism" ; "Mo-molybdopterin cofactor biosynthesis" ; "Mo-molybdopterin cofactor formation" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
