Practice question
Question
Which enzyme is responsible for the reduction of atmospheric gaseous nitrogen to ammonia in biological nitrogen fixation?
Explanation
The principle of enzyme catalysis and lipid structure explains that substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. Hence Nitrogenase fits best because it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, as documented in authoritative sources on biochemistry.
