Editorial: The skies are a shared resource. We spend public money and push the limits of technology to look into the depths of the Universe - but now often see private communication satellites instead. Solutions exist, but regulation and enforcement are lacking. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Cleaning up space: how satellites and telescopes can live together

Satellites connect people around the world but they also interfere with astronomers’ views of the cosmos. There are ways to reduce these tensions.

Nature research paper: Structural basis for the conformational protection of nitrogenase from O2 https://go.nature.com/4aiD344

Structural basis for the conformational protection of nitrogenase from O2 - Nature

Cryo-electron microscopy of Azotobacter vinelandii FeSII–nitrogenase reveals a core complex of molybdenum–iron proteins (MoFePs), iron proteins (FePs) and FeSII, in which FeSII mediates interactions with MoFeP and FeP to position their FeS clusters in catalytically inactive but O2-protected states.

Conformational protection of molybdenum nitrogenase by Shethna protein II - Nature

A small ferredoxin (Shethna protein II) of Azotobacter vinelandii can provide protection from O2 stress that may be crucial for the maintenance of recombinant nitrogenase in food crops.
