The widespread use of biofertilizers, rather than chemical fertilizers, is significantly more
likely to accomplish sustainable agriculture production globally. Plant growth-promoting …

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

Nitrogenase harbors three distinct metal prosthetic groups that are required for its activity.
The simplest one is a [4Fe-4S] cluster located at the Fe protein nitrogenase component. The …

The trace element molybdenum is essential for nearly all organisms and forms the catalytic
centre of a large variety of enzymes such as nitrogenase, nitrate reductases, sulphite …

The iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMo-co), located at the active site of the molybdenum
nitrogenase, is one of the most complex metal cofactors known to date. During the past …

Iron-sulfur (Fe/S) proteins are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as
enzymatic reactions, respiration, cofactor biosynthesis, ribosome biogenesis, regulation of …

Building iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters and assembling Fe-S proteins are essential actions for
life on Earth. The three processes that sustain life, photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and …

Sugarcane is the leading economic crop in China, requires huge quantities of nitrogen in the
preliminary plant growth stages. However, the use of an enormous amount of nitrogen …

SUMMARY Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters are required for critical biochemical pathways,
including respiration, photosynthesis, and nitrogen fixation. Assembly of these iron cofactors …

Nitrogen availability is limiting to plant growth and has long been overcome through the
application of synthetic nitrogen‐rich fertilizer. Using increasing amounts of fertilizers, the …
