Structure of precursor bound NifEN: a nitrogenase FeMo cofactor maturase/insertase

NifEN plays an essential role in the biosynthesis of the nitrogenase FeMo cofactor (M-cluster). It is an α(2)β(2) tetramer that is homologous to the catalytic MoFe protein (NifDK) component of nitrogenase. NifEN serves as a scaffold for the conversion of an iron-only precursor to a matured form of t...
