Summary
AFMB Structural Genomics target Number 97 (http://afmb.cnrs-mrs.fr/article171.html). [More information is available at EcoGene: EG13061]. A ygfK mutant exhibits a defect in selenate reduction, and it is proposed that YgfK (potential oxidoreductase), YgfM (protein with a FAD domain), and YgfN (molybdopterin protein) are components of a selenate reductase . [More information is available at EcoCyc: G7497].
