A new 1.2 Å crystal structure of vanadium nitrogenase, isolated under turnover conditions, recently revealed a light atom ligand (OH or NH) replacing the bridging S2B sulfide of the FeV cofactor. QM/MM calculations on the new structure now reveal the light-atom ligand to be a bridging hydroxo group, probably derived from water binding to the cofactor.
最近,一个在周转条件下分离得到的 1.2 Å 钒氮酶晶体结构揭示了一个轻原子配体(OH 或 NH)取代了 FeV 辅因子的桥接 S2B 硫化物。对新结构的 QM/MM 计算表明,该轻原子配体是一个桥接的羟基金属配体,可能来自于与辅因子结合的水分子。
