Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
light light-driven activation of the molybdenum-iron-protein, MoFeP, of nitrogenase for substrate reduction is independent of ATP hydrolysis and the iron-protein, FeP, binding structure and mechanism, overview Azotobacter vinelandii

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information a MoFeP variant labeled on its surface with a Ru-photosensitizer is shown to photocatalytically reduce protons and acetylene, most likely at its active site, FeMoco. The uncoupling of nitrogenase catalysis from ATP hydrolysis enables the study of redox dynamics within MoFeP and the population of discrete reaction intermediates, overview Azotobacter vinelandii
