Einsle is studying the microstructure of the heart of the enzyme: a large metal core called the iron
molybdenum cofactor (FeMoco).
The researchers were able to inhibit the activity of the enzyme using the toxic gas carbon monoxide (CO) to show how the inhibitor binds to the iron
molybdenum cofactor (FeMoco).

Molybdenum serves as a
cofactor for four critical enzymes: Sulfite oxidase, Xanthine oxidase, Aldehyde oxidase, and Mitochondrial amidoxime reducing component (mARC).
This enzyme can be boosted by supplementing its
cofactor,
molybdenum.
