The vanadium (V)-nitrogenase is very similar to the ''conventional'' molybdenum (Mo)-nitrogenase, yet it holds unique properties of its own that may provide useful insights into the general mechanism of nitrogenase catalysis."

"So far, characterization of the vanadium iron (VFe) protein of Azotobacter vinelandii V-nitrogenase has been focused on 2 incomplete forms of this protein: alpha beta(2) and alpha(2)beta(2), both of which contain the small delta-subunit in minor amounts. Although these...
