Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of an iron-molybdenum cofactor from nitrogenase
Vinod K. Shah,Winston J. Brill +1 more
TL;DR: The FeMoCo might be used as a model for synthesizing catalysts for chemical nitrogen fixation and knowledge of the structure of this cofactor should be useful for understanding the role of molybdenum at the active site of nitrogenase, role of ligands close to moly bdenum in electron and proton transfer, and the catalytic mechanism of nitrogen fixation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation and characterization of protein products coded by the nif (nitrogen fixation) genes of Klebsiella pneumoniae.
TL;DR: Two hundred and thirty-five Nif- strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae were characterized by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and nine nif-coded polypeptides were identified, and eight of these were assigned to specific nif genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen Fixation in Termites
TL;DR: The question of N2 fixation in termites is reinvestigated by exploiting the sensitivity of the acetylene reduction assay, a reliable indicator of N1 fixation and preliminary reports of these results have already been published.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel metal cluster in the iron-molybdenum cofactor of nitrogenase. Spectroscopic evidence.
J. Rawlings,Vinod K. Shah,J R Chisnell,Winston J. Brill,R. Zimmermann,Eckard Münck,William H. Orme-Johnson +6 more
Journal ArticleDOI
