The key to this process is the enzyme nitrogenase, as the heart of nitrogen fixation, according to Kaçar. Nitrogenase is believed to be at least 3 billion years old and evolved under conditions that ...

Although there is great physiological and phylogenetic diversity among the organisms that carry out nitrogen fixation, they all have a similar enzyme complex called nitrogenase that catalyzes the ...

Iron is needed for the enzymes that catalyze nitrogen fixation; however, where and how iron is transported to the nodule and used for nitrogen fixation is largely unknown. In a new study ...

Thus, the researchers Josefa Muñoz Alamillo and Cristina María López focused on the study of the enzyme dedicated to the recycling of adenine in the nitrogen fixation cycle (adenine ...

For years, attempts have therefore been made to transfer the natural nitrogen fixation in bacteria and archaea to crops. The enzyme nitrogenase is responsible for the binding of nitrogen.

bigelowii for essential functions like amino acid and pyrimidine biosynthesis and for nitrogen fixation. “Seeing flavodoxin in there was really surprising,” Coale said. Flavodoxin is a redox protein ...

creating new enzymes for solar-driven carbon capture and nitrogen fixation. PhD Position III – Advancing Computational Enzyme Design with AI.zymes Despite significant progress in protein design, ...

Mannitol is included in the medium as an energy source and an ion of molybdenum that is essential for nitrogen fixation. This metallic ion appears to serve as an essential ion cofactor for the enzyme ...

Nitrogen gas (N 2) is one of the most abundant yet highly stable gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Its N≡N triple bond has an extremely high bond dissociation energy (~940.95 kJ mol⁻¹), making ...

Animals consume plant protein, digest it using specific enzymes and absorb the free amino acids. This is when bacteria in the soil convert the nitrate back into nitrogen gas which then gets ...
