It is propose that ATP-binding produces a conformational compaction of the BchL homodimer leading to a release of the flexible N-terminus from blocking the [4Fe-4S] cluster and promotes complex formation with BchNB to drive electron transfer. The auto-inhibitive feature and release mechanism appear unique to DPOR and is not found in the structurally similar nitrogenase.
