FeMo-cofactor from Nitrogenase

thingiverse

The FeMo-cofactor model, a complex metallic cluster vital to biology, has been successfully printed multiple times with excellent results. Raft support facilitates easy separation post-printing. No additional supports are necessary due to Tinkercad design. The completed model, painted to represent key atoms (Molybdenum in purple, Iron in green, Sulfur in yellow), demonstrates impressive detail. This cofactor is the active site for nitrogenase, a crucial enzyme responsible for converting atmospheric nitrogen gas into ammonia. The cofactor's coordinates were sourced from pdb file 1MIN.
