I hope you enjoy the subject of molybdenum (Mo, atomic number 42, transition metal, group 6 and fifth period in the periodic classification, Nox ranging from 6 to -2). Whether you see any errors, or having suggestions and doubts, please feel free to be in contact. Molybdenum is required in small amounts by plants (micronutrient), for example, while the concentration of nitrogen in the dry matter of the plants is 1000 mmol / kg, the concentration of Mo is 0.001 mmol / kg. However Mo is part of cofactors that bind nitrate reductase and nitrogenase. These two enzymes are crucial for the assimilation of nitrogen by plants. Three-dimensional structure of nitrate reductase Nitrate reductase converts the nitrate that has been absorbed from the soil to nitrite which will later be converted to ammonium. Ammonium will be converted to glutamate by the GS-GOGAT path. Henceforth several amino acids can be formed. Nitrogenase is an enzyme found in bacteria that live in symb...

We gave a break in Natural Sciences today, soon we return to normal schedule, or not. I want to be brief with this thing. In this introduction I would just like to say that, for the most rushed and inattentive, perhaps the conflict of me may be the conflict of yourself, or of ourselves.
