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 …

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 …

N2 is fixed as NH3 industrially by the Haber–Bosch process under harsh conditions,
whereas biological nitrogen fixation is achieved under ambient conditions, which has …

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

Nitrogenases catalyze the reduction of dinitrogen (N2) gas to ammonium at a complex
heterometallic cofactor. This most commonly occurs at the FeMo cofactor (FeMoco), a [Mo …

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 …

Transition metal–sulfur (M–S) compounds are an indispensable means for biological
systems to convert N2 into NH3 (biological N2 fixation), and these may have emerged by …

The ammonia (NH3) synthesis industry is significant for many aspects of human progress
and the global economy, especially in the fields of fertilizers, hydrocarbon-free energy …

Most biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) results from the activity of the molybdenum
nitrogenase (Mo-nitrogenase, Nif), an oxygen-sensitive metalloenzyme complex found in all …
