Diversity and Functional Analysis of the FeMo-Cofactor Maturase NifB

Diversity and Functional Analysis of the FeMo-Cofactor Maturase NifB

One of the main hurdles to engineer nitrogenase in a non-diazotrophic host is achieving NifB activity. NifB is an extremely unstable and oxygen sensitive protein that catalyzes a low-potential SAM-radical dependent reaction. The product of NifB activity is called NifB-co, a complex [8Fe-9S-C] cluste...
