Abstract: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.
