Iron-molybdenum cofactor of nitrogenase, molecular model. Nitrogenase, the enzyme that catalyses nitrogen fixation, relies on an iron-molybdenum cofactor for its catalytic activity. Known commonly as FeMoco, the cofactor is a cluster of iron (orange), sulphur (yellow), carbon (black) and molybdenum (green) atoms with the formula Fe7S9CMo. The carbon atom is thought to stabilize the cluster structure. | |
