Abstract

N₂ fixation is accomplished by the combined action of two proteins, and this complicates the problem of nomenclature. The problem is particularly acute because it is not clear whether the proteins act independently or as a complex, nor is it clear what specific action each protein effects. Nitrogenase or the N₂-fixing complex refers to the two proteins acting together. The individual proteins of nitrogenase will be termed the Mo-Fe protein and the Fe protein; some workers refer to these as ‘protein 1’ or ‘fraction 1’ and ‘protein 2’ or ‘fraction 2’ respectively. Although these designations are not completely definitive, because other Fe proteins do exist in the N₂-fixing cells, they seem preferable currently to azoferredoxin and molybdoferredoxin. Mortenson, Morris and Jeng (1967) introduced the term azoferredoxin to designate the N₂-binding protein of the nitrogenase complex, but later work (Bui and Mortenson, 1968) suggested that it is the Mo-Fe protein which binds N₂. When the chemical nature of the Mo-Fe and Fe proteins and their functions are better established a more rational nomenclature can be assigned.
