description | NNitrogenase, also called dinitrogenase, is the enzyme which catalyses the conversion of molecular nitrogen to ammonia (biological nitrogen fixation). The most widespread and most efficient nitrogenase contains a molybdenum cofactor. This entry, also known as the AnfK family, represents the beta subunit of the iron-only alternative nitrogenase []. It is homologous to NifK and VnfK, of the molybdenum-containing and the vanadium-containing nitrogenases, respectively. |
