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 …

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 …

The reduction of nitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3) is a requisite transformation for life.
Although it is widely appreciated that the iron-rich cofactors of nitrogenase enzymes facilitate …

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, the reduction of N2 to two NH3 molecules, supports more than
half the human population. The predominant form of the enzyme nitrogenase, which …

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria catalyze the reduction of dinitrogen (N2) to two ammonia molecules
(NH3), the major contribution of fixed nitrogen to the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. The …

“Nitrogen fixation”, the reduction of dinitrogen (N2) to two ammonia (NH3) molecules, by the
Mo-dependent nitrogenase is essential for all life. Despite four decades of research, a …

Biological nitrogen fixation is mediated by the nitrogenase enzyme system that catalyses the
ATP dependent reduction of atmospheric dinitrogen to ammonia. Nitrogenase consists of …

Understanding the interaction of N2 with iron is relevant to the iron catalyst used in the
Haber process and to possible roles of the FeMoco active site of nitrogenase. The work …

During the process of biological nitrogen fixation, the enzyme nitrogenase catalyzes the ATP-
dependent reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia. Nitrogenase consists of two component …
