The Fe Protein: An Unsung Hero of Nitrogenase [PDF]
Inorganics, 2018 Although the nitrogen-fixing enzyme nitrogenase critically requires both a reductase component (Fe protein) and a catalytic component, considerably more work has focused on the latter species.

Functional expression of the nitrogenase Fe protein in transgenic rice. [PDF]
Commun Biol, 2022 AbstractEngineering cereals to express functional nitrogenase is a long-term goal of plant biotechnology and would permit partial or total replacement of synthetic N fertilizers by metabolization of atmospheric N2. Developing this technology is hindered by the genetic and biochemical complexity of nitrogenase biosynthesis.

Bacterial Approaches for Assembling Iron-Sulfur Proteins
mBio, 2021 Building iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters and assembling Fe-S proteins are essential actions for life on Earth. The three processes that sustain life, photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and respiration, require Fe-S proteins.
