Metal ions play significant roles in numerous fields including chemistry, geochemistry,
biochemistry, and materials science. With computational tools increasingly becoming …

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 …

At the core of many important energy conversion processes in chemistry and biology are
oxidation-reduction reactions in which both electrons and protons are transferred. An …

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 …

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 …

Unlike monooxygenases, molybdenum-containing hydroxylases catalyze the hydroxylation
of carbon centers using oxygen derived ultimately from water, rather than O2, as the source …

The present work highlights recent advances in elucidating the methane oxidation
mechanism of the inorganic Cu-ZSM-5 biomimic and in identifying the reactive intermediates …

Metal oxides are important in numerous catalytic industrial processes. The desire for models
of the metal oxide catalytic activity has contributed to the development of the research …

The global energy demand and the present high dependence on fossil fuels have caused
an unprecedented increase in the Earth's atmosphere carbon dioxide concentration. Its …

Fly ash (FA) has been widely used to improve concrete sustainability for many years;
however, the amount of FA has been limited by the relatively low cement contents in …
