Electron transfer precedes ATP hydrolysis during nitrogenase catalysis.
The biological reduction of N2 to NH3 catalyzed by Mo-dependent nitrogenase requires at least eight rounds of a complex cycle of events associated with ATP-driven electron transfer (ET) from the Fe protein to the catalytic MoFe protein, with each ET coupled to the hydrolysis of two ATP molecules. Although steps within this cycle have been studied for decades, the nature of the coupling between ...

متن کاملElectron transfer and half-reactivity in nitrogenase.
Nitrogenase is a globally important enzyme that catalyses the reduction of atmospheric dinitrogen into ammonia and is thus an important part of the nitrogen cycle. The nitrogenase enzyme is composed of a catalytic molybdenum-iron protein (MoFe protein) and a protein containing an [Fe4-S4] cluster (Fe protein) that functions as a dedicated ATP-dependent reductase. The current understanding of el...

متن کاملElectron transfer and catalysis with high-valent metal-oxo complexes.
High-valent metal-oxo complexes are produced by reductive activation of dioxygen via reduction of metal complexes with reductants and dioxygen. Photoinduced electron transfer from substrates to metal complexes with dioxygen also leads to the generation of high-valent metal-oxo complexes that can oxygenate substrates. In such a case metal complexes act as a photocatalyst to oxygenate substrates ...
