Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to climate change and is
primarily regulated in Nature by methanotrophic bacteria, which consume methane gas as …

Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are a natural
product class that has undergone significant expansion due to the rapid growth in genome …

Methane monooxygenases (MMOs) mediate the facile conversion of methane into methanol
in methanotrophic bacteria with high efficiency under ambient conditions. Because the …

On the basis of its generally accessible I/II redox couple and bioavailability, copper plays a
wide variety of roles in nature that mostly involve electron transfer (ET), O 2 binding …

Bacteria that oxidize methane to methanol are central to mitigating emissions of methane, a
potent greenhouse gas. The nature of the copper active site in the primary metabolic …

The nitrogen cycle is one of the most important biogeochemical cycles on Earth because
nitrogen is an essential nutrient for all life forms. To supplement natural nitrogen fixation …

Methane monooxygenase (MMO) enzymes activate O 2 for oxidation of methane. Two
distinct MMOs exist in nature, a soluble form that uses a diiron active site (sMMO) and a …

Methane monooxygenases (MMOs) are enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of methane to
methanol in methanotrophic bacteria. As potential targets for new gas-to-liquid methane …

Copper is an essential trace element in living systems, present in the parts per million
concentration range. It is a key cofactor in a diverse array of biological oxidation-reduction …

Methanotrophs, cells that consume methane (CH4) as their sole source of carbon and
energy, play key roles in the global carbon cycle, including controlling anthropogenic and …
