For these reasons, binding of Fe protein to FeMo protein results in hydrolysis of ATP. Additionally, the 4Fe:4S cluster is lowered close enough to the metal-sulfur clusters of the FeMo protein that electron transfer can occur. All three clusters found in the Fe protein-FeMo protein complex can be seen <scene name='Sandbox_10/1n2c_clusters/2'>here</scene>. Once the electrons have passed from the 4Fe:4S cluster of the Fe protein to the 8Fe:7S cluster of the FeMo protein, they then transfer to the 7Fe:Mo:9S:homocitrate:X cluster where X is an unidentified light atom. It is at this cluster where reduction of N<sub>2</sub> and H<sup>+</sup> occur. The exact mechanism of reduction, however, is still unknown.
