High impact information on PF1203

Characterization of a novel tungsten-containing formaldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon, Thermococcus litoralis. A role for tungsten in peptide catabolism [1].
Crystal structures of formaldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase (FOR), a tungstopterin-containing protein from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus, have been determined in the native state and as a complex with the inhibitor glutarate at 1.85 A and 2 [2].
Molecular characterization of the genes encoding the tungsten-containing aldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase from Pyrococcus furiosus and formaldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase from Thermococcus litoralis [3].

Associations of PF1203 with chemical compounds

Its growth is stimulated by tungsten, and a tungsten-containing iron-sulfur protein that has formaldehyde ferredoxin oxidoreductase (FOR) activity has been purified [1].
