The structure of vanadium nitrogenase reveals an unusual bridging ligand

Nitrogenases catalyze the reduction of N(2) gas to ammonium at a complex heterometallic cofactor. Most commonly this is the FeMo cofactor (FeMoco), a [Mo:7Fe:9S:C] cluster whose exact reactivity and substrate binding mode remain unknown. Alternative nitrogenases replace molybdenum with either vanadi...
