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

Oxaziridines constitute a subset of a class of versatile oxidants whose characteristic feature
is the presence of two electronegative heteroatoms within a strained three-membered ring …

An investigation of the active site cofactors of the molybdenum and vanadium nitrogenases
(FeMoco and FeVco) was performed using high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy. Synthetic …

Non‐heme iron complexes are emerging as powerful and versatile catalysts in several
oxidative transformations. The most investigated iron complex structures are based on …

Mo nitrogenase (N2ase) utilizes a two-component protein system, the catalytic MoFe and its
electron-transfer partner FeP, to reduce atmospheric dinitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3). The …

The non-heme iron enzyme cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) catalyzes the S-oxygenation of
cysteine by O2 to give cysteine sulfinic acid. The synthesis of a new structural and functional …

Toxic superoxide radicals, generated via adventitious reduction of dioxygen, have been
implicated in a number of disease states. The cysteinate-ligated non-heme iron enzyme …
