Scientists uncover key step in how diazotrophs 'fix' nitrogen by Michelle Franklin, University of California - San Diego Cryo-EM and solution characterization of the O 2 -protected FeSII ...
The team’s graph theory algorithm identified that most of the nitrogen oxide compounds have to cycle through nitric oxide or amine as an intermediate step before becoming ammonia. This allowed the ...
Atmospheric nitrogen must first be converted, or "fixed," into a form that can be used by plants, often as ammonia. There are only two ways of fixing nitrogen, one industrial and one biological.
Abuse isn’t always obvious; subtle signs like isolation and financial control are common. Breaking the cycle requires identifying these patterns, seeking support, and creating a plan to leave safely.
