Minimal ATP‐Independent N2‐Reducing Systems Defined by L‐Cluster‐Bound Nitrogenase Assembly Platforms

Association of the L-cluster with the nitrogenase assembly proteins NifEN (NifENL) or NifB (NifBL) intrinsically endows these proteins with N2-reducing activity, enabling in vitro N2-reduction by Nif....

Artemis 2 - Rollout der Rakete soll morgen (17. Jan.) 13 Uhr MEZ beginnen. Zur Liveübertragung bitte ausreichend Popcorn bereithalten! Denn der riesige Crawler wird die Rakete mit einem Tempo von 1,6 km/h zum Startplatz befördern, sodass es Stunden dauern dürfte. www.nasa.gov/news-release...

The IUCr 27th Congress and General Assembly will be held in Calgary, Canada, from August 11th-18th, 2026 - It's not too early to start planning - Learn more and sign up to express your interest -> zurl.co/FP2ho We'll be there!

Registration and abstract submission is open for eurobic18.eu. Hopefully we see all of you (bio)inorganic chemists in Groningen - the coolest place to be in Europe this summer (and probably also a bit wet but fantastic speakers!).
