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 ...

For years, attempts have therefore been made to transfer the natural nitrogen fixation in bacteria and archaea to crops. The ...

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 ...

Thus, the researchers Josefa Muñoz Alamillo and Cristina María López focused on the study of the enzyme dedicated to the ...

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 ...
