Abstract excerpt
The nitrogenase enzyme of Klebsiella pneumoniae consists of two separable proteins, each with multiple subunits and one or more oxygen sensitive metallocenters. The wild-type nitrogenase proteins are stable to electrophoresis in high concentrations of urea under anaerobic conditions. Addition of Mg+2 and ADP greatly increases the stability of the smaller Fe protein (from <4 to >6 M for full unfolding), an effect...
