Nitrogen (N) is used in many of life's fundamental biomolecules, and it is also a participant in
environmental redox chemistry. Biogeochemical processes control the amount and form of N …

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), a key reaction of the nitrogen cycle, is catalyzed by the
enzyme nitrogenase. The best studied isoform of this metalloenzyme requires molybdenum …

Nitrogenase is the only known biological enzyme capable of reducing N2 to bioavailable
NH3. Most nitrogenases use Mo as a metallocofactor, while alternative cofactors V and Fe …

The understanding of the role of vanadium enzymes and of vanadium compounds (VCs) in
biology, as well as the design of new vanadium-based species for catalysis, materials …

The evolution of nitrogen fixation undoubtedly altered nearly all corners of the biosphere,
given the essential role of nitrogen in the synthesis of biomass. To date, there is no unified …

Nitrogenases are the only known enzymes that reduce molecular nitrogen (N2) to ammonia.
Recent findings have demonstrated that nitrogenases also reduce the greenhouse gas …

The enzyme molybdenum nitrogenase converts atmospheric nitrogen gas to ammonia and
is of critical importance for the cycling of nitrogen in the biosphere and for the sustainability …

There is considerable interest in promoting biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) as a
mechanism to reduce the inputs of nitrogenous fertilizers in agriculture, but considerable …

Nitrogen (N) fixation in soils is closely linked to microbially mediated molybdenum (Mo)
cycling. Therefore, elucidating the mechanisms and factors that affect Mo bioavailability is …

Lichens provide valuable systems for studying symbiotic interactions. In lichens, these
interactions are frequently described in terms of availability, selectivity and specificity of the …
