Enzymatic catalysis has fueled considerable interest from chemists due to its high efficiency
and selectivity. However, the structural complexity and vulnerability hamper the application …

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 …

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 …

In nature, nitrogen fixation is one of the most important life processes and occurs primarily in
microbial organisms containing enzymes called nitrogenases. These complex proteins …

Transition metal-driven small molecule activation is essential for the production of fuels and
chemicals or energy supply. The use of multimetallic catalysts, where two or more metal …

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 …

The iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMo-co), located at the active site of the molybdenum
nitrogenase, is one of the most complex metal cofactors known to date. During the past …

“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 …
