The Dinitrogen Ligand-Bound M-Clusters of Nitrogenase

Caption

A sideview of the M-clusters in the two dimers of the catalytic component of Mo-nitrogenase. The key residues interacting with the M-clusters and the bound dinitrogen ligands are indicated as sticks. The two M-clusters are superimposed with the Fo-Fc omit maps of the dinitrogen ligands (mint-blue mesh). Color code of atoms: Fe, orange; S, yellow; O, red; N, blue.
