Abstract

Nitrogenases play a central role in the fundamental process of biological nitrogen fixation. We have crystals of the component 1 of the enzyme isolated from Klebsiella pneumoniae which diffract X-rays to high resolution when flash-frozen. Through X-ray analysis we intend to determine the three-dimensional structure of this enzyme and characterise a number of interesting site-directed mutants.
