Gases like H2, N2, CO2, and CO are increasingly recognized as critical feedstock in “green”
energy conversion and as sources of nitrogen and carbon for the agricultural and chemical …

The reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia by nitrogenase reflects a complex choreography
involving two component proteins, MgATP and reductant. At center stage of this process …

Solar nitrogen (N2) fixation is the most attractive way for the sustainable production of
ammonia (NH3), but the development of a highly active, long-term stable and low-cost …

Electrocatalytic or photocatalytic N2 reduction holds great promise for green and sustainable
NH3 production under ambient conditions, where an efficient catalyst plays a crucial role but …

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 …

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 …

Ammonia (NH3) is one of the most important industrial chemicals owing to its wide
applications in various fields. However, the synthesis of NH3 at ambient conditions remains …

It was once widely held that nearly all reactions in biology were catalyzed via mechanisms
involving paired electron species. Beginning approximately 40 years ago, this paradigm was …

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 …

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