Popis: 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 iron atoms to determine the resting-state electron distribution of FeMoco.
