Conserved amino acid sequence features in the alpha subunits of MoFe, VFe, and FeFe nitrogenases.

BACKGROUND:This study examines the structural features and phylogeny of the alpha subunits of 69 full-length NifD (MoFe subunit), VnfD (VFe subunit), and AnfD (FeFe subunit) sequences. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:The analyses of this set of sequences included BLAST scores, multiple sequence align...
