Term Name: W-molybdopterin cofactor biosynthetic process
Synonyms: Moco biosynthesis, Moco biosynthetic process, W-molybdopterin cofactor anabolism, W-molybdopterin cofactor biosynthesis, W-molybdopterin cofactor formation, W-molybdopterin cofactor synthesis
Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of the W-molybdopterin cofactor, essential for the catalytic activity of some enzymes. The cofactor consists of a mononuclear tungsten ion (W) coordinated by one or two molybdopterin ligands.
