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 …

Bacterial methane oxidation using the enzyme particulate methane monooxygenase
(pMMO) contributes to the removal of environmental methane, a potent greenhouse gas …

Methanotrophic bacteria represent a potential route to methane utilization and mitigation of
methane emissions. In the first step of their metabolic pathway, aerobic methanotrophs use …

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 …

In the last few decades, worldwide scientists have been motivated by the promising
production of chemicals from the widely existing methane (CH4) under mild conditions for …

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 …

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 …
