Abstract
Tetrathiomolybdate inhibits iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMo cofactor) binding to component I of nitrogenase. Molybdenum-iron cluster (a subcomponent of FeMo cofactor) and tetrathiomolybdate inhibited FeMo cofactor activation of inactive nitrogenase component I in extracts of Azotobacter vinelandii and Klebsiella pneumoniae mutant strains defective in the biosynthesis of FeMo cofactor. Addition of tetrathiotungstate, the tungsten analog of tetrathiomolybdate, to the mutant extracts had no significant inhibitory effect on subsequent activation by FeMo cofactor.Entities:
