GTP, produced in the nucleotide de novo biosyntheis pathway, interacts with a water molecule through a GTP cyclohydrolase resulting in a formate, hydrogen ion and a 7,8-dihydroneopterin 3'-triphosphate. The latter compound interacts with a water molecule through a dihydroneopterin triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase resulting in the release of a pyrophosphate, a hydrogen ion and a 7,8-dihydroneopterin 3'-phosphate. The latter compound interacts with water spontaneously resulting in the release of a phosphate and a 7,8 dihydroneopterin. The latter compound interacts with a dihydroneopterin aldolase resulting in the release of a glycolaldehyde and a 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin. This compound then is then diphosphorylated by reacting with a ATP driven 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin pyrophosphokinase resulting in the release of a hydrogen ion, an AMP and 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin diphosphate.
GTP interacts with a cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate synthase resulting in the release of a diphosphate and a cyclic pyranopterin phosphate. The latter compound interacts with a thiocarboxylated small subunit of molybdopterin synthase (a protein) and a water molecule through a molybdopterin synthase resulting in the release of 4 hydrogen ions, 2 small subunits of molybdopterin synthase and a molybdopterin. The molybdopterin interacts with an ATP and a hydrogen ion through a molybdopterin adenylyltransferase resulting in the release of a diphosphate and a molybdopterin adenine dinucleotide. The latter compound is then metabolized by a hydrogen ion and a molybdate through a molybdopterin molybdenumtransferase resulting in the release of an AMP, a water molecule and a molybdopterin cofactor.
The molybdopterin cofactor can procede to the guanylyl molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis pathway or it can be metabolized into a cytidylyl molybdenum cofactor by interacting with a CTP and a hydrogen ion through a molybdenym cofactor cytidylyltransferase resulting in the release of a pyrophosphate and a cytidyllyl molybdenum cofactor
