Abstract NAD (P) H-dependent oxidoreductases catalyze the reduction or oxidation of a
substrate coupled to the oxidation or reduction, respectively, of a nicotinamide adenine …

Nitrate reductase (NR) is a key enzyme for nitrogen acquisition by plants, algae, yeasts, and
fungi. Nitrate, its main substrate, is required for signaling and is widely distributed in diverse …

Molybdenum is the only second-row transition metal required by most living organisms, and
is nearly universally distributed in biology. Enzymes containing molybdenum in their active …

The nitrate anion is a simple, abundant and relatively stable species, yet plays a significant
role in global cycling of nitrogen, global climate change, and human health. Although it has …

Aryldiazonium salts remain a staple in organic synthesis and are still prepared largely in
accord with the protocol developed in the 19th century. Because of the favorable reactivity …

Nitrite is one of the players in the broad nitrogen biogeochemical cycle. This nitrogen oxo-
anion is involved in key pathways crucial to life on Earth and to the planetary “recycling” of …

Reduction of oxides and oxoanions of carbon and nitrogen are of great contemporary
importance as they are crucial for a sustainable environment. Substantial research has been …

The transition element molybdenum needs to be complexed by a special cofactor to gain
catalytic activity. Molybdenum is bound to a unique pterin, thus forming the molybdenum …

Nitrate is a pervasive aquatic contaminant of global environmental concern. In nature, the
most effective nitrate reduction reaction (NRR) is catalyzed by nitrate reductase enzymes at …

The transition element molybdenum (Mo) is of essential importance for (nearly) all biological
systems as it is required by enzymes catalyzing diverse key reactions in the global carbon …
