Evidence for Interstitial Carbon in Nitrogenase FeMo Cofactor
Chicago
An error occurred while generating the citation.
Abstract
The identity of the interstitial light atom in the center of the FeMo cofactor of nitrogenase has been enigmatic since its discovery. Atomic-resolution x-ray diffraction data and an electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM) analysis now provide direct evidence that the ligand is a carbon species.
