Extinction coefficients:

Extinction coefficients are in units of  M-1 cm-1, at 280 nm measured in water.

Ext. coefficient    45170
Abs 0.1% (=1 g/l)   0.962, assuming all pairs of Cys residues form cystines

Ext. coefficient    44920
Abs 0.1% (=1 g/l)   0.957, assuming all Cys residues are reduced

Estimated half-life:

The N-terminal of the sequence considered is L (Leu).

The estimated half-life is: 5.5 hours (mammalian reticulocytes, in vitro).
3 min (yeast, in vivo).
2 min (Escherichia coli, in vivo).

Instability index:

The instability index (II) is computed to be 38.18
This classifies the protein as stable.

Aliphatic index: 94.00

Grand average of hydropathicity (GRAVY): -0.017

Nitrogenase is a complex enzyme system consisting of nine protein components. Additionally, to maintain stoichiometry of these protein components is an essential requirement for nitrogenase biosynthesis and activity. However, there is only one copy of each structure gene present in the nif gene cluster. Therefore, cloning each of these nif genes and setting as independent part can facilitate the regulation of balancing expression ratios from the transcription and/or translation level(s) when they are heterogeneously expressed in non-diazotrophic hosts.We sent the sequences of the PCR template to synthesis, but unfortunately, EcoRI and PstI striction enzyme cut site was involved after they promoted it again. But the part can be manipulated by XbaI and SpeI or can be assembled by gibson assembly,that is what we did.
