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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

- 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
- Uniprot ID:
- P00393
- Molecular weight:
- 47358
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
