The rate of this process can be measured through the use of an acetylene reduction assay.
The rate of this process can be measured through the use of an acetylene reduction assay. Organisms that perform this process live in symbiosis with their hosts, which provide them with adequate oxygen through the heme protein leg-hemoglobin. The enzyme that performs this process comes in iron-only, molybdenum, and vanadium varieties; that enzyme requires a cofactor known as FeMoCo. This biological process, whose manmade analogue is the Haber-Bosch process, is performed by bacteria such as Rhizobium and Azotobacter that live in root nodules of legumes. For 10 points, name this process in which nitrogen gas is converted to ammonia.
