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 …

Nitrogenase is the only enzyme capable of reducing N2 to NH3. This challenging reaction
requires the coordinated transfer of multiple electrons from the reductase, Fe-protein, to the …

Vanadium is special in at least two respects: on the one hand, the tetrahedral anion
vanadate (v) is similar to the phosphate anion; vanadate can thus interact with various …

Molybdenum nitrogenase catalyses the ambient reduction of N2 to NH3 at the M-cluster, a
complex cofactor that comprises two metal-sulfur partial cubanes ligated by an interstitial …

The understanding of the role of vanadium enzymes and of vanadium compounds (VCs) in
biology, as well as the design of new vanadium-based species for catalysis, materials …

The Fischer–Tropsch (FT) process converts a mixture of CO and H2 into liquid hydrocarbons
as a major component of the gas-to-liquid technology for the production of synthetic fuels …

In a small-scale reaction, vanadium-dependent nitrogenase has previously been shown to
catalyze reductive catenation of carbon monoxide (CO) to ethylene, ethane, propylene, and …

Nitrogenase is an active target of heterologous expression because of its importance for
areas related to agronomy, energy, and environment. One major hurdle for expressing an …

Nitrogenase catalyzes biological nitrogen fixation, a key step in the global nitrogen cycle.
Three homologous nitrogenases have been identified to date, along with several structural …

Nitrogenase catalyzes the biological conversion of atmospheric dinitrogen to bioavailable
ammonia. The molybdenum (Mo)-and vanadium (V)-dependent nitrogenases are two …
