ABSTRACT
The electronic structures of FeFe-cofactors (FeFe-cos) in resting and turnover states, together with their PN clusters from iron-only nitrogenases, have been calculated using the bond valence method, and their crystallographic data were reported recently and deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB codes 8BOQ and 8OIE). The calculated results have also been compared with those of their homologous Mo- and V-nitrogenases. For FeFe-cos in the resting state, Fe1/2/4/5/6/7/8 atoms are prone to Fe3+, while the Fe3 atom shows different degrees of mixed valences. The results support that the Fe8 atom at the terminal positions of FeFe-cos possesses the same oxidation states as the Mo3+/V3+ atoms of FeMo-/FeV-cos. In the turnover state, the overall oxidation state of FeFe-co is slightly reduced than those in the resting species, and its electronic configuration is rearranged after the substitution of S2B with OH, compatible with those found in CO-bound FeV-co. Moreover, the calculations give the formal oxidation states of 6Fe2+-2Fe3+ for the electronic structures of PN clusters in Fe-nitrogenases. By the comparison of Mo-, V- and Fe-nitrogenases, the overall oxidation levels of 7Fe atoms (Fe1-Fe7) for both FeFe- and FeMo-cos in resting states are found to be higher than that of FeV-co. For the PN clusters in MoFe-, VFe- and FeFe-proteins, they all exhibit a strong reductive character.
