Catalysis-dependent selenium incorporation and migration in the nitrogenase active site iron-molybdenum cofactor
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 reducing dinitrogen remains elusive. Here we report the...
