摘要
The enzyme nitrogenase contains an Mo-Fe-S cluster (FeMoco), which has a unique extended FeS-bridged structure and appears to be the centre at which the reduction of N-2 and related molecules occurs. The possible mode of action of FeMoco is discussed in relation to its behaviour when isolated from the protein and to the behaviour of model complexes which are able to mimic various aspects of the nitrogenase function.
