Description
ModA is a subunit of ModABC(ATP-binding cassette) trabsporter protein which can bind molybdenum.Molybdenum is an essential component of a large number of enzymes, where it is present in the form of two types of cofactor: the iron???molybdenum cofactor, in nitrogenase, and the molybdopterin cofactors in all the other known molybdoenzymes. Molybdenum is a relatively abundant element in the earth???s crust, in two main chemical forms, MoS2,and MoO2-. Only Mo(VI)in the form of molybdate is readily soluble and stable in aqueous solutions, and it is thus the only relevant source of molybdenum for biological systems.
We want to use ModA to bind molubdenum then carry it to the plants.
