Gases like H2, N2, CO2, and CO are increasingly recognized as critical feedstock in “green”
energy conversion and as sources of nitrogen and carbon for the agricultural and chemical …

The reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia by nitrogenase reflects a complex choreography
involving two component proteins, MgATP and reductant. At center stage of this process …

Nitrogenase is the enzyme that catalyzes biological N2 reduction to NH3. This enzyme
achieves an impressive rate enhancement over the uncatalyzed reaction. Given the high …

Nitrogen is an essential element contained in many biomolecules necessary to sustain life.
1, 2 This element is abundantly available in Earth's atmosphere in the form of dinitrogen …

Nitrogenases are responsible for biological nitrogen fixation, a crucial step in the
biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. These enzymes utilize a two-component protein system and …

Biological nitrogen fixation is catalyzed by the enzyme nitrogenase, which facilitates the
cleavage of the relatively inert triple bond of N2. Nitrogenase is most commonly associated …

Transition metal–sulfur (M–S) compounds are an indispensable means for biological
systems to convert N2 into NH3 (biological N2 fixation), and these may have emerged by …

In nature, nitrogen fixation is one of the most important life processes and occurs primarily in
microbial organisms containing enzymes called nitrogenases. These complex proteins …

While recent spectroscopic studies have established the presence of an interstitial carbon
atom at the center of the iron–molybdenum cofactor (FeMoco) of MoFe-nitrogenase, its role …

Transition metal-driven small molecule activation is essential for the production of fuels and
chemicals or energy supply. The use of multimetallic catalysts, where two or more metal …
