Abstract
Placing metal ions into the center of a porphyrin ring is a significant cellular challenge. Lundqvist et ai. (2010) provide snapshots of the AAA + motor unit of magnesium chelatase, an enzyme that insert magnesium ion into the porphyrin ring accompanied by ATP expenditure, in different states of binding to adenosyl nucleotides.
