Application
Sodium (±)-homocitrate tribasic may be used in studies of formation and function of the iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMo-co) which contains 7Fe, 9S, Mo, R-homocitrate. FeMo-co is essential for nitrogen fixation by nitrogenous organisms.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Component of the iron-molybdenum cofactor of nitrogenases , essential isomerization of homocitrate via homoaconitate to homoisocitrate, homocitrate accumulation seems to act as a sensor of lysine-pathway distress.
Packaging
Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Nitrogenase catalyses the ATP-dependent reduction of N2 to NH3, and is composed of two proteins, dinitrogenase (MoFe protein or component I) and dinitrogenase reductase (Fe protein or component II). Dinitrogenase contains a unique prosthetic group (iron-molybdenum cofactor, FeMoco) comprised of

When apodinitrogenase (lacking FeMo-co) was activated with FeMo-co synthesized in vitro in the presence of 3H-labeled homocitrate, label was incorporated into dinitrogenase. The physical association of the label with FeMo-co was demonstrated by reisolation and purification of the cofactor from

Biological nitrogen fixation, the conversion of atmospheric N2 to NH3, is an essential process in the global biogeochemical cycle of nitrogen that supports life on Earth. Most of the biological nitrogen fixation is catalyzed by the molybdenum nitrogenase, which contains
