TLDR
In this paper, a review of nitrogen fixation in solution is presented, where the optimum catalyst is the polynuclear complex, and the limiting step involves the electron transfer from a reducing agent.Abstract:
Reports on nitrogen fixation in solution are reviewed. The optimum catalyst is the polynuclear complex. The reaction proceeds as a multielectron process, and the limiting step involves the electron transfer from a reducing agent.read more

Structural models for the metal centers in the nitrogenase molybdenum-iron protein
Jongsun Kim,Douglas C. Rees +1 more
TL;DR: Neither the FeMo-cofactor nor the P-clusters are exposed to the surface, suggesting that substrate entry, electron transfer, and product release must involve a carefully regulated sequence of interactions between the MoFe-protein and Fe-protein of nitrogenase.
