CC -!- FUNCTION: This molybdenum-iron protein is part of the nitrogenase
CC complex that catalyzes the key enzymatic reactions in nitrogen
CC fixation.
CC -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:
CC Reaction=16 ATP + 16 H2O + N2 + 8 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] = 16
CC ADP + 6 H(+) + H2 + 2 NH4(+) + 8 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] + 16
CC phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:21448, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10000, Rhea:RHEA-

CC -!- COFACTOR:
CC Name=[8Fe-7S] cluster; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:21143; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
CC Note=Binds 1 [8Fe-7S] cluster per heterodimer. {ECO:0000250};
CC -!- COFACTOR:
CC Name=[7Fe-Mo-9S-C-homocitryl] cluster; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:30409;
CC Evidence={ECO:0000250};
CC Note=Binds 1 [7Fe-Mo-9S-C-homocitryl] cluster per subunit.
CC {ECO:0000250};
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Tetramer of two alpha and two beta chains. Forms complex with
CC the iron protein (nitrogenase component 2).
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NifD/NifK/NifE/NifN family. {ECO:0000305}.
