Abstract
Advanced spectroscopic and transient kinetic techniques will be used to investigate the role of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) in the function of Azotobacter vinelandii nitrogenase. This will involve work using both the native and site directed mutants of the nitrogenase proteins. The partial reactions involved in the catalytic action of nitrogenase will be examined by using a variety of transient kinetic techniques including stopped flow spectroscopy, rapid chemical quench and rapid freeze techniques. The effects of the mutations on the phosphate release, electron transfer and protein dissociation kinetics of the nitrogenase complex will be investigated.
