Identification
Name: Copper
Description:Copper is s a ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. Pure copper is soft and malleable; a freshly exposed surface has a reddish-orange color. The catalytic activity of copper is used by the enzymes that it is associated with and is thus only toxic when unsequestered and unmediated. Copper(II) ions are water-soluble, where they function at low concentration as bacteriostatic substances, fungicides, and wood preservatives.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in oxidation-reduction process
Specific function:
Transfer of electrons from NADH to the respiratory chain. The immediate electron acceptor for the enzyme is believed to be ubiquinone. Does not couple the redox reaction to proton translocation
Gene Name:
ndh
Locus Tag:
PA4538
Molecular weight:
47.4 kDa
Reactions
NADH + acceptor = NAD(+) + reduced acceptor.
General function:
Involved in Mo-molybdopterin cofactor biosynthetic process
Specific function:
Involved in sulfur transfer in the conversion of molybdopterin precursor Z to molybdopterin
Gene Name:
moaD
Locus Tag:
PA3917
Molecular weight:
9.2 kDa
General function:
Involved in Mo-molybdopterin cofactor biosynthetic process
Specific function:
Converts molybdopterin precursor Z to molybdopterin. This requires the incorporation of two sulfur atoms into precursor Z to generate a dithiolene group. The sulfur is provided by moaD
Gene Name:
moaE
Locus Tag:
PA3916
Molecular weight:
16.7 kDa
Reactions
Cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate + 2 [molybdopterin-synthase sulfur-carrier protein]-Gly-NH-CH(2)-C(O)SH + H(2)O = molybdopterin + 2 [molybdopterin-synthase sulfur-carrier protein].
