SYSTEMATIC NAME

acetaldehyde hydro-lyase (acetylene-forming)
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 [2].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 [2]. Ethylene cannot act as a substrate [1].
