Abstract Due to the complexity of the catalytic FeMo cofactor site in nitrogenases that mediates the reduction of molecular nitrogen to ammonium, mechanistic details of this reaction remain under debate. In this study, selenium- and sulfur-incorporat

The [Mo:7Fe:9S:C] iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMoco) of nitrogenase is a large metal cluster with an important role in biological nitrogen fixation. Here, the authors use spatially resolved refinement of the anomalous scattering contributions of the i

The molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is found in the active site of numerous important enzymes that are critical to biological processes. The bidentate ligand that chelates molybdenum (Mo) in Moco is the pyranopterin dithiolene (molybdopterin, MPT); howeve

As an approach towards unraveling the nitrogenase mechanism, we have studied the binding of CO to the active‐site FeMo‐cofactor. CO is not only an inhibitor of nitrogenase, but it is also a substrate, undergoing reduction to hydrocarbons (Fischer

Dinitrogen reduction in the biological nitrogen cycle is catalyzed by nitrogenase, a two-component metalloenzyme. Understanding of the transformation of the inert resting state of the active site FeMo-cofactor into an activated state capable of reduc

The nitrogenase iron protein (Fe‐protein) contains an unusual [4Fe:4S] iron‐sulphur cluster that is stable in three oxidation states: 2+, 1+, and 0. Here, we use spatially resolved anomalous dispersion (SpReAD) refinement to determine oxidation a

Azotobacter vinelandii flavodoxin II serves as a physiological reductant of nitrogenase, the enzyme system mediating biological nitrogen fixation. Wildtype A. vinelandii flavodoxin II was electrochemically and crystallographically characterized to be

Protonated states of the nitrogenase active site are mechanistically significant since substrate reduction is invariably accompanied by proton uptake. We report the low pH characterization by X-ray crystallography and EPR spectroscopy of the nitrogen

The alternative, vanadium-dependent nitrogenase is employed by Azotobacter vinelandii for the fixation of atmospheric N2 under conditions of molybdenum starvation. While overall similar in architecture and functionality to the common Mo-nitrogenase,

Nitrogenase is the only known enzymatic system capable of reducing atmospheric dinitrogen to ammonia. This unique reaction requires tightly choreographed interactions between the nitrogenase component proteins, the molybdenum-iron (MoFe)- and iron (F
