Abstract
⺠First experimental details of conformational changes of FeMo-cofactor on binding substrate. ⺠EXAFS and NRVS study of propargyl alcohol (PA) binding to MoFe nitrogenase. ⺠EXAFS shows changes in the 3.7 Ã
Fe-Fe distance on binding PA but no change in 5.1Â Ã
Mo-Fe interaction. ⺠NRVS shows only minor changes, indicating the Fe6S9X core remains essentially intact. ⺠Bound form of PA is coordinated to Fe6 or Fe7, with concomitant movement of the Fe atom.
