Vincent Méjean has made significant contributions to the field of biochemistry, exploring the multifaceted roles of tord-like chaperones in the biogenesis of molybdoenzymes. Recent research highlights these proteins' involvement in both the activation and maturation processes of these essential enzymes. Additionally, Méjean's work has shed light on the protective function of chaperones against premature degradation of immature molybdoenzymes during periods of limited molybdenum cofactor availability. These findings underscore the importance of tord-like chaperones in maintaining cellular homeostasis and have implications for understanding enzyme biology, particularly in the context of molybdoenzyme-mediated metabolic pathways that are critical to human health and disease.
