Abstract excerpt

The products of the nifN and nifE genes of Azotobacter vinelandii function as a 200-kDa alpha 2 beta 2 tetramer (NIFNE) in the synthesis of the iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMo-co) of nitrogenase, the enzyme system required for biological nitrogen fixation. NIFNE was purified using a modification o...
