IUBMB Comments

A molybdoprotein containing a pterin cofactor. Tungstate can substitute for molybdate. The enzyme catalyses a reversible reaction in methanogenic bacteria, and is involved in methanogenesis from CO2 as well as the oxidation of methyl-coenzyme M to CO2. Methylviologen can act as acceptor. Also oxidizes N-furfurylformamide.
