A molecular pathway for the egress of ammonia produced by nitrogenase

Nitrogenase converts N(2) to NH(3), at one face of an Fe-Mo-S cluster (FeMo-co) buried in the protein. Through exploration of cavities in the structures of nitrogenase proteins, a pathway for the egress of ammonia from its generation site to the external medium is proposed. This pathway is conserved...
