About: Vanadium nitrogenase

An Entity of Type: protein, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Vanadium nitrogenase is a key enzyme for nitrogen fixation found in nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and is used as an alternative to molybdenum nitrogenase when molybdenum is unavailable. Vanadium nitrogenases are an important biological use of vanadium, which is uncommonly used by life. An important component of the nitrogen cycle, vanadium nitrogenase converts nitrogen gas to ammonia, thereby making otherwise inaccessible nitrogen available to plants. Unlike molybdenum nitrogenase, vanadium nitrogenase can also reduce carbon monoxide to ethylene, ethane and propane but both enzymes can reduce protons to hydrogen gas and acetylene to ethylene.

  • Vanadium nitrogenase is a key enzyme for nitrogen fixation found in nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and is used as an alternative to molybdenum nitrogenase when molybdenum is unavailable. Vanadium nitrogenases are an important biological use of vanadium, which is uncommonly used by life. An important component of the nitrogen cycle, vanadium nitrogenase converts nitrogen gas to ammonia, thereby making otherwise inaccessible nitrogen available to plants. Unlike molybdenum nitrogenase, vanadium nitrogenase can also reduce carbon monoxide to ethylene, ethane and propane but both enzymes can reduce protons to hydrogen gas and acetylene to ethylene. (en)
  • 钒固氮酶，是一種在固氮細菌身上發現的酵素，它是第二種固氮方法，當主要的金屬鉬固氮酵素無法運作時。 在自然的氮循環中，钒固氮酶是非常重要的構成要素，它將空氣中的氮氣轉換成氨，使原本無法被植物利用的氮氣變成有用的。最近美國的學者發現，當一氧化物存在時就會減少钒固氮酶，並產生乙烯、乙烷、丙烷。 (zh)
