Talk:Nitrogenase

message: It is quite good to list all the relevant reactions and the information about enzyme generation. The wiki page is quite good organized and the information is well selected and aligned.
Figures about the structure of the enzyme and also the catalytic circle may be needed to have a more clear demonstration of the enzyme activity. And it may also to mention the structural interaction of the Fe and MoFe part which enables the electron transfer.

message: Chemistry of Enzyme Catalysis: Evaluation Notes
1. There are types of nitrogenases that are not mentioned within the intro (eg vanadium nitrogenase) that should be incorporated either as a paragraph or with a link
2. The "Structure and Mechanism" section contains very little information on the mechanism. The two main pathways - distal and alternating - are not mentioned at all. 
3. There are missing citations for the paragraphs written on enzyme structure.
4. There are no citations of Brian Hoffman's work on nitrogenase.
5. Graphics of the active site and of proposed mechanisms should be present.

message: I have corrected the line
"Since this reaction does not occur very often, and in fact goes the other way more easily, with ammonia breaking down into nitrogen and hydrogen, without nitrogenase, there would be much less life than presently exists."
As the formation of ammonia from 1/3H2 and 1/2N2 does in fact have a negative enthalpy of reaction. As Dr. Hoaglund notes, ammonia production is a problem of kinetic stability of the reactants.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eutactic (talk • contribs) 06:25, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

message: as reported on science magazine in august or july, Vanadium Nitrogenase 
reduces Carbon monoxide (CO) to alkenes and alkanes C2H4,C2H6,C3H8.
I read it on science, I can't find the link.. would someone add this fact to the main article with the appropriate reference ?

message: I propose that Nitrogenase (flavodoxin) be merged to this page as it is essentially not a duplication. The information in that article could easily be accommodated here. Rainbowwrasse (talk) 20:57, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

message: The oxygen-tolerant nitrogenase of Streptomyces thermoautotrophicus has been discredited in the literature. See this paper
http://www.nature.com/articles/srep20086 (doi:10.1038/srep20086)
and this comment on the original paper describing the oxygen-tolerant nitrogenase, citing sources.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9334244#cm9334244_14110
would be nice if the article on nitrogenase could be updated to reflect this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwmurray1 (talk • contribs) 18:43, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
