摘要
NITROGENASE is a metalloenzyme containing molybdenum and iron, and both metals are considered to be directly involved in nitrogen fixation. The iron probably picks up the nitrogen molecule (dinitrogen) to form a dinitrogen complex, but the role of molybdenum is uncertain1. We now present a model which indicates the probable function of the molybdenum. © 1969 Nature Publishing Group.
