Metals/Ions Comment Organism Structure
Iron enzyme consists of 2 proteins: a molybdenum and iron-containing protein, MoFe protein, component I, dinitrogenase, and an iron containing protein, Fe protein, component II, dinitrogenase reductase, together they form the active nitrogenase complex Azotobacter vinelandii
Mg2+ required for ATP hydrolysis Azotobacter vinelandii
Molybdenum enzyme consists of 2 proteins: a molybdenum and iron-containing protein, MoFe protein, component I, dinitrogenase, and an iron containing protein, Fe protein, component II, dinitrogenase reductase, together they form the active nitrogenase complex Azotobacter vinelandii
