Insights into the structure and reactivity of the catalytic site of nitrous oxide reductase

Substantial part of the emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a powerful greenhouse gas, to the atmosphere comes from the incomplete denitrification in bacteria. N2O can only be detoxified by nitrous oxide reductase (N2OR), which catalyzes the last step of this pathway. This enzyme contains two distinct...
