An investigation into the unusual linkage isomerization and nitrite reduction activity of a novel tris(2-pyridyl) copper complex [PDF]
, 2017 The copper-containing nitrite reductases (CuNIRs) are a class of enzymes that mediate the reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide in biological systems. Metal–ligand complexes that reproduce the salient features of the active site of CuNIRs are therefore of

Resolution of Key Roles for the Distal Pocket Histidine in Cytochrome c Nitrite Reductases [PDF]
, 2015 Cytochrome c nitrite reductases perform a key step in the biogeochemical N-cycle by catalyzing the six-electron reduction of nitrite to ammonium. These multi-heme cytochromes contain a number of His/His ligated c-hemes for electron transfer and a ...

Competition for electrons between nitrate and nitrite during denitrification
上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2017 Nitrate and nitrite removal rates were measured respectively during denitrificaiton,and experimental results showed that nitrite accumulated during nitrate removal,because nitrite removal rate was slower than nitrate.Following experiments documented that
