Iron-Only and Vanadium Nitrogenases: Fail-Safe Enzymes or Something More?

Volume: 74, Issue: 1, Pages: 247 - 266
Published: Jul 14, 2020
Abstract
The enzyme molybdenum nitrogenase converts atmospheric nitrogen gas to ammonia and is of critical importance for the cycling of nitrogen in the biosphere and for the sustainability of life. Alternative vanadium and iron-only nitrogenases that are homologous to molybdenum nitrogenases are also found in archaea and bacteria, but they have a different transition metal, either vanadium or iron, at their active sites. So far alternative nitrogenases...
