The inorganic biochemistry of molybdoenzymes
Abstract
Molybednum-containing enzymes (Coughlan, 1980; Spiro, 1985) occupy a significant place in the development of the field now termed inorganic biochemistry. The importance of the metal as a biological trace element depends on its involvement in the known, and perhaps other as yet unknown, molybdoenzymes. That it plays a role in biological nitrogen fixation, the process whereby the enzyme nitrogenase in the root nodules of plants converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, was recognized in the 1930s. The metal is also a constituent of a variety of other enzymes, having first been found in a mammalian enzyme, xanthine oxidase, in the 1950s.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
