Enzymes containing the trace element molybdenum play crucial roles in plant, animal and human health, drug metabolism, environmental processes and climate. This international, multidisciplinary project will advance our understanding of the structure and function of these enzymes at the atomic level and inform strategies to reduce the impact of crop, livestock and human diseases and adverse environmental (e.g. algal blooms, leaching of toxic arsenic) and climatic events. Effective strategies would be of enormous social and economic benefit to Australia. The training of skilled scientists and access to major overseas facilities are additional benefits of the project.

含有微量元素钼的酶在植物、动物和人类健康、药物代谢、环境过程和气候中发挥着至关重要的作用。这个国际多学科项目将增进我们对这些酶在原子水平上的结构和功能的理解，并为减少作物、牲畜和人类疾病以及不利环境（例如藻华、有毒砷浸出）和气候事件的影响提供策略。有效的战略将为澳大利亚带来巨大的社会和经济效益。 熟练科学家的培训和使用主要海外设施是该项目的额外好处。
