Inhibition of nitrogenase-catalyzed reductions was studied under such conditions that the concentration of electron acceptors and inhibitors did not affect nitrogenase-catalyzed ATP hydrolysis, and the concentration of the electron acceptor was at least 1.8 times its Michaelis constant to reduce the effect of H2evolution. Thus, the effects were centered on the reduction site.Based on Lineweaver-Burk plots, CO was noncompetitive with N2, acetylene and NaN3and did not inhibit H2evolution; H2inhibited N2fixation competitively, but it did not inhibit reduction of azide, acetylene, cyanide, isocyanide, and H+; acetylene and cyanide were noncompetitive with N2; acetylene and azide acted noncompetitively with each other; cyanide and methylisocyanide were competitive with NaN3. According to these observations, the following five sites or modified sites are proposed for the nitrogenase complex: (1) N2and H2site, (2) acetylene site, (3) azide, cyanide and methylisocyanide site, (4) CO site, (5) H+site.
