Novel Coordination Compounds of Pterin Ligands Including a Redox Amphoteric W(IV)-pterin Complex: The Redox Chemistry Associated with their Formation and Reactivities | Chapter 3 | Progress in Chemical Science Research Vol. 8

 The capability of the pyrazine moiety (of the pterin ring) to survive in three different burning states, such as the aromatic, dihydro, and tetrahydro forms, is approximately related to the strength of pterins to act as redox allies in biological redox wholes. High bioavailability and unique synthetic versatility are the principal reasons for the incorporation of Mo and W into the alive sites of enzymes. The lower reduction potentials of the tungsten aggregates as compared to the equivalent molybdenum complexes, created them beneficial to the early life forms which doubtless arose in new, anaerobic conditions of earliest ocean. The redox allure associated with the establishment and reactivities of the title complexes, is having to do with the functional aspects of Mo/W – weak oxotransferases.
