Pyran ring-opening reaction in Moco, which can generate tautomers A-C by proton migration around the pyrazine ring of pterin. The bottom structure possessing the thione-thiolate chelate is a valence tautomer resulting from a formal two-electron intramolecular redox reaction yielding reduced Mo(IV) and an oxidized pterin dithiolene ligand.
