Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of Nitrogen Fixation by Nitrogenase: The Next Stage
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analyses of the chiral stationary phase replacement of Na6(CO3)(SO4)2, Na2SO4, and Na2CO3 of the H2O/O2 mixture and shows clear patterns in the response of these two types of molecules to each other in a stationary phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of Substrates by Nitrogenases
Lance C. Seefeldt,Zhi-Yong Yang,Dmitriy Lukoyanov,Derek F. Harris,Dennis R. Dean,Simone Raugei,Brian M. Hoffman +6 more
TL;DR: Progress in understanding the reduction of a wide range of C-based substrates, including CO and CO2, is discussed, and remaining challenges in understanding nitrogenase substrate reduction are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diiron Oxadithiolate Type Models for the Active Site of Iron-Only Hydrogenases and Biomimetic Hydrogen Evolution Catalyzed by Fe2(μ-SCH2OCH2S-μ)(CO)6
TL;DR: In this article, the biomimetic chemistry of single and double oxadithiolatodiiron-containing model compounds for the active site of Fe-only hydrogenases (FeHases) has been systematically studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
A pathway for biological methane production using bacterial iron-only nitrogenase
Yanning Zheng,Derek F. Harris,Zheng Yu,Yanfen Fu,Saroj Poudel,Rhesa N. Ledbetter,Kathryn R. Fixen,Zhi-Yong Yang,Eric S. Boyd,Mary E. Lidstrom,Lance C. Seefeldt,Caroline S. Harwood +11 more
TL;DR: It is reported that wild-type iron-iron (Fe-only) nitrogenase from the bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris can generate CH4 in a single step, which can consequently be used for growth by a CH4-utilizing Methylomonas strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Single and Double Diiron Oxadithiolates as Models for the Active Site of [Fe]-Only Hydrogenases
TL;DR: The series of diiron oxadithiolate model complexes for the active site of [Fe]-only hydrogenases is presented in this paper, where Fe2(μ-SCH2OCH2S-μ)(CN)2(CO)4]-Et4N)2.
