A Comparative Study of the Structural Features and Kinetic Properties of the MoFe and VFe Proteins from Azotobacter Vinelandii

Biological nitrogen fixation is accomplished in the bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii by means of three metalloenzymes: The molybdenum, vanadium, and iron-only nitrogenase. The knowledge regarding biological nitrogen fixation has come from studies on the Mo-dependent reaction. However, the V- and Fe-...
