X-ray spectroscopic observation of an interstitial carbide in NifEN-bound FeMoco precursor

The iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMoco) of nitrogenase contains a biologically unprecedented μ(6)-coordinated C(4-) ion. Although the role of this interstitial atom in nitrogenase catalysis is unknown, progress in understanding its biosynthetic origins has been made. Here we report valence-to-core Fe...
