formate + NAD+ = CO2 + NADH + H+ reaction mechanism: step I, formate binds directly to Mo, displacing Se-Cys140. Step II, the alpha-proton from formate may be transferred to the nearby His141 that acts as general base. Alternatively, step II may involve a selenium-carboxylated intermediate. Step III, electrons from MoIV are transferred via the 4Fe-4S center to an external electron acceptor and the catalytic cycle is completed Escherichia coli
