摘要
The isolated cofactor of nitrogenase FeMoco catalyses hydrogen evolution at the high potential associated with the FeMoco(ox/semi-red) couple(E degrees = -280 mV vs. NHE, C6F5S- ligated form); analysis of the current-potential dependence of the catalysis suggests a mechanism involving rate-determining loss of H-2 from an FeMoco(H)(2)(red) intermediate (k = 3 s(-1)); the relatively slow kinetics of this step may be related to an obligatory role for hydridic intermediates in substrate reductions by nitrogenase.
