Molybdenum
A metallic element with the atomic symbol Mo, atomic number 42, and atomic weight 95.95. It is an essential trace element, being a component of the enzymes xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase, and nitrate reductase.
Molybdenum Cofactors
Enzyme co-factors that contain MOLYBDENUM. They play an essential role in a variety of cellular REDOX reactions.
Year introduced: 2022
Molybdoferredoxin
A non-heme iron-sulfur protein isolated from Clostridium pasteurianum and other bacteria. It is a component of NITROGENASE, which is active in nitrogen fixation, and consists of two subunits with molecular weights of 59.5 kDa and 50.7 kDa, respectively.
Year introduced: 1991(1977)
Vitallium
An alloy of 60% cobalt, 20% chromium, 5% molybdenum, and traces of other substances. It is used in dentures, certain surgical appliances, prostheses, implants, and instruments.

Molybdenum cofactor deficiency [Supplementary Concept]
A genetically heterogeneous rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by onset in infancy of poor feeding, intractable SEIZURES, and severe psychomotor retardation. Characteristic biochemical abnormalities include decreased serum URIC ACID and increased urine sulfite levels due to the combined enzymatic deficiency of XANTHINE DEHYDROGENASE and SULFITE OXIDASE, both of which use molybdenum as a cofactor. Most affected individuals die in early childhood. OMIM: 252150
