Mo-molybdopterin cofactor catabolic process
id: GO:0032326
name: Mo-molybdopterin cofactor catabolic process
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of the Mo-molybdopterin cofactor, essential for the catalytic activity of some enzymes. The cofactor consists of a mononuclear molybdenum (Mo) ion coordinated by one or two molybdopterin ligands.
