Description | This entry represents the C terminus of subunit C of molybdenum formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase (FmdC) and subunit D of tungsten formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase (FwdD), and other related proteins from Archaea [ ]. Formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase catalyzes the first step in methane formation from CO2 in methanogenic archaea and some eubacteria []. This domain is of the conserved molybdopterin-binding C-terminal (MopB_CT) region present in many, but not all, MopB homologues. | Name | FwdD/FmdC, molybdopterin dinucleotide-binding domain |
Short Name | FmdC/FwdD_MopB-bd | Type | Domain |
