Nitrogenases are the enzymes by which certain microorganisms convert atmospheric dinitrogen (N2) to ammonia, thereby providing essential nitrogen atoms for higher organisms. The most common nitrogenases reduce atmospheric N2 at the FeMo cofactor, a sulfur-rich iron-molybdenum cluster (FeMoco). The c

Most hydrophilic organic solvents inhibit enzymatic activity. Nitrogenase is shown to be approximately 3 times more sensitive to organic inhibition than most other soluble enzymes. Ethylene glycol (EG) is demonstrated to rapidly inhibit nitrogenase activity without uncoupling ATP hydrolysis. Our dat

Evidence of a CO docking site near the FeMo cofactor in nitrogenase has been obtained by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-monitored low-temperature photolysis. We investigated the possible migration paths for CO from this docking site using molecular dynamics calculations. The simulations sup
