Nature Communications, 2021 Biological N2 fixation was key to the expansion of life on early Earth. The N2-fixing microorganisms and the nitrogenase type used in the Proterozoic are unknown, although it has been proposed that the canonical molybdenum-nitrogenase was not used due to

Selenocyanate derived Se-incorporation into the nitrogenase Fe protein cluster
eLife, 2022 The nitrogenase Fe protein mediates ATP-dependent electron transfer to the nitrogenase MoFe protein during nitrogen fixation, in addition to catalyzing MoFe protein-independent substrate (CO2) reduction and facilitating MoFe protein metallocluster ...

Reconstruction of Nitrogenase Predecessors Suggests Origin from Maturase-Like Proteins
bioRxiv, 2021 The evolution of biological nitrogen fixation, uniquely catalyzed by nitrogenase enzymes, has been one of the most consequential biogeochemical innovations over life’s history.

Nitrogenase activity associated with codium species from New Zealand marine habitats [PDF]
, 1978 Nitrogenase activity, measured as acetylene reduction, was recorded at rates up to 1028 nmol.h \g * dry weight for Codium adhaerens (Cabr.) Ag. var. convolutum Dellow and Codium fragile (Sur.) Hariot subsp.

How many metals does it take to fix N2? A mechanistic overview of biological nitrogen fixation [PDF]
, 2006 During the process of biological nitrogen fixation, the enzyme nitrogenase catalyzes the ATP-dependent reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia. Nitrogenase consists of two component metalloproteins, the iron (Fe) protein and the molybdenum-iron (MoFe) protein;

An alternative path for the evolution of biological nitrogen fixation
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 Nitrogenase catalyzed nitrogen fixation is the process by which life converts dinitrogen gas into fixed nitrogen in the form of bioavailable ammonia. The most common form of nitrogenase today requires a complex metal cluster containing molybdenum (Mo ...

Food and Energy Security, 2023 Soybean is a rich source of protein and oil for humans. It forms a symbiotic association with rhizobia to fix atmospheric nitrogen for its growth and development. Rhizobial type‐III effectors act as important signaling molecules in symbiosis.
