Biosynthesis of the Nitrogenase FeMo-cofactor from Azotobacter vinelandii: Involvement of the NifEN complex, NifX and the Fe protein

The iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMo-cofactor) of nitrogenase is the subject of one the most intensive biochemical/genetic detective cases of modern science. At the active site of nitrogenase, the FeMo-cofactor not only represents the heart of biological nitrogen fixation, but its synthesis also serv...
