Metals/Ions

Metals/Ions Comment Organism Structure
Iron enzyme contains a [7Fe9S-Mo-X-homocitrate] metallocluster, 1 of 2 different models proposes one or more Fe atoms in the Mo cofactor to be responsible for substrate binding Azotobacter vinelandii
Molybdenum enzyme contains a [7Fe9S-Mo-X-homocitrate] metallocluster, where X can be an N atom, 1 of 2 different models proposes molydenum as the substrate binding partner in the active site Azotobacter vinelandii
