The very first cells obtained their energy from geochemical reactions. LMU researchers have now managed to recreate this ancient metabolic process in their laboratory. Most likely, the earliest ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A delicate balance of electrons flowing through the photosynthetic machinery is essential to a plant’s ability to turn sunlight into energy and its survival. Understanding the ...

In a number of biological processes, iron-sulfur clusters play a vital role, where they act as cofactors to enzymes. Research now shows that cubic clusters can support unusual bonding states. This ...

For nearly six years, the Nucor Steel iron plant in St. James Parish released caustic sulfuric acid mist and highly flammable, rotten egg-smelling hydrogen sulfide into the air — and neither the plant ...

Scientists found iron-fueled microbial life thriving deep beneath the Red Sea at Hatiba Mons, revealing a vast, metal-driven vent ecosystem.

Research on Atm1 protein’s role in iron-sulfur cluster transport across membranes could improve our understanding of mitochondrial conditions. A ubiquitous protein family found in almost all ...

Scientists have developed a fast, energy-efficient method to create an iron-carbon (Fe/C) catalyst that can remove antibiotic ...

Jupiter's moon Io stands alone among the solar system's moons. It has more than 400 active volcanoes, and its surface is home ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Cultures of the blue-green alga, Aphanocapsa, were grown under iron-limiting conditions and changes in concentration of redox components of ...

A group of chemists from Rice University has created a more cost-effective and ecologically friendly method of incorporating chlorine into chemical building blocks for pharmaceuticals, plastics, ...
