Linked from

The 11 pages that link to Nitrogenase, each with the reason it gives.

• Nitrogen fixationRelated: It catalyzes biological fixation and must be protected from oxygen.

• Nitrogen cycleBroader topic: Its oxygen sensitivity helps explain why fixation is confined to specialized cells and environments.

• NitrogenBroader topic: This enzyme performs biological nitrogen fixation despite nitrogen gas’s strong bond.

• Haber–Bosch processRelated: Biology fixes nitrogen gently; mimicking nitrogenase's iron-molybdenum cofactor is an active research goal.

• Biological nitrogen fixationBroader topic: It catalyzes the defining chemical reaction of biological nitrogen fixation.

• RhizobiumRelated: Rhizobium relies on nitrogenase to make biologically usable nitrogen inside nodules.

• Root noduleRelated: It carries out nitrogen fixation inside nodule bacteria.

• FrankiaRelated: Frankia uses this oxygen-sensitive enzyme to make atmospheric nitrogen available to its host.

• AzollaBroader topic: The cyanobacterial partner uses this oxygen-sensitive enzyme to fix nitrogen.

• AnabaenaRelated: Heterocysts protect this enzyme complex so Anabaena can fix nitrogen.

• RhizobiaBroader topic: This enzyme carries out the central chemical reaction of rhizobial nitrogen fixation.
