Two distinct ferredoxins are essential for nitrogen fixation by the iron nitrogenase in Rhodobacter capsulatus

ABSTRACT Nitrogenases are the only enzymes able to fix gaseous nitrogen into bioavailable ammonia and hence are essential for sustaining life. Catalysis by nitrogenases requires both a large amount of ATP and electrons donated by strongly reducing ferredoxins or flavodoxins. Our knowledge about the...
