Description
This is a non-redox-active enzyme that contains two molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide (MGD) cofactors, a tungsten centre and a cubane type [4Fe-4S] cluster.The tungsten centre binds a water molecule that is activated by an adjacent aspartate residue, enabling it to attack acetylene bound in a distinct hydrophobic pocket. Ethylene cannot act as a substrate.
