Nitrogenases

2018
Biological nitrogen fixation, the conversion of dinitrogen (N2) into ammonia (NH3), stands as a particularly challenging chemical process. As the entry point into a bioavailable form of nitrogen, biological nitrogen fixation is a critical step in the global nitrogen cycle.

Nitrogenase-catalyzed reactions

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 1972
Abstract 1. H2 evolution, N2 reduction and ATP hydrolysis, catalyzed by a particulate nitrogenase from Azotobacter vinelandii, showed similar dependence on the concentration of ATP. Higher concentrations of ATP were inhibitory. 2. Evolution of H2 by nitrogenase under the conditions studied could not be completely stopped. 3.

MOLYBDENUM IN NITROGENASE

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1984
Publisher Summary Nitrogen fixation ranks with photosynthesis as a process of fundamental importance to all life on earth. The biochemical process described by nitrogen fixation is the reduction of N2 to NH3, which can then be used for the synthesis of amino acids, nucleic acids, and other essential nitrogenous compounds.

Mimicking nitrogenase

Dalton Transactions, 2010
In seeking to mimic the hydrogenation of N(2) to NH(3) as effected under mild conditions by the enzyme nitrogenase, three classes of known metal sulfide clusters that resemble the NFe(7)MoS(9) core of FeMo-co, the active site of nitrogenase, have been assessed theoretically.

Vanadium nitrogenase

Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 2000
The topic, vanadium nitrogenase, is reviewed with respect to biological characteristics and findings on its structure and functions. Structural models (vanadium complexes containing ligands related to the active center in the iron-vanadium cofactor) and functional models for the reductive protonation of dinitrogen, the activation of alkynes and ...
