Nitrogenase (EC 1.18.6.1)is the enzyme used by organisms to fix atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2). Dinitrogen is relatively inert due to its triple bond. The enzyme therefore requires uses a lot of chemical energy in the form of ATP and reducing agents, such as NADH. The product of the reaction is ammonia, which is normally incorporated into glutamate to form glutamine. The enzyme is composed of a dimer of "MoFe" associated with a dimers of "Fe" each. ...
