The production of synthetic ammonia remains dependent on the energy-and capital-
intensive Haber–Bosch process. Extensive research in molecular catalysis has …

Nitrogenase is the enzyme that catalyzes biological N2 reduction to NH3. This enzyme
achieves an impressive rate enhancement over the uncatalyzed reaction. Given the high …

Ammonia (NH 3) is one of the most important commodity chemicals in today's chemical
industry. Industrially, ammonia is synthesized via the Haber-Bosch process at high …

Hydrogenase enzymes efficiently process H2 and protons at organometallic FeFe, NiFe, or
Fe active sites. Synthetic modeling of the many H2ase states has provided insight into …

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 …

An efficient nitrogen fixation reaction is highly desirable for obtaining the essential chemicals
and energy carriers but remains a challenge due to the strong nonpolar bonding and …

Reduction of N2 by nitrogenases occurs at an organometallic iron cofactor that commonly
also contains either molybdenum or vanadium. The well-characterized resting state of the …

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 …

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

Biological nitrogen fixation is catalyzed by the enzyme nitrogenase, which facilitates the
cleavage of the relatively inert triple bond of N2. Nitrogenase is most commonly associated …
