Identity and function of an essential nitrogen ligand of the nitrogenase cofactor biosynthesis protein NifB
NifB is a radical SAM enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the Mo-nitrogenase cofactor, which is responsible for the ambient conversion of N2 to NH3. Here, the authors identify and uncover the function of a His43 residue as an essential nitrogen ligand of NifB in cofactor biosynthesis.
