Understanding the Electronic Structure Basis for N(2) Binding to FeMoco: A Systematic Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics Investigation

[Image: see text] The FeMo cofactor (FeMoco) of Mo nitrogenase is responsible for reducing dinitrogen to ammonia, but it requires the addition of 3–4 e(–)/H(+) pairs before N(2) even binds. A binding site at the Fe2/Fe3/Fe6/Fe7 face of the cofactor has long been suggested based on mutation studies,...
