“Urea hydrolysis will drive soil pH around the nitrogen molecule to near 9,” Ferrie says. “This can happen within two to four days of application. In moist, warm, high-pH ...

The nitrogen molecule is composed of two nitrogen atoms joined by a triple covalent bond, thus making the molecule highly inert and nonreactive. Nitrogenase catalyzes the breaking of this bond and ...

"By selectively adding one nitrogen atom to these existing drug heterocycles in the later stages of development, we can change the molecule's biological and pharmacological properties without ...

Researchers have uncovered a way to manipulate DNA at the atomic level using electric field gradients to control nitrogen ...

Japanese scientists detected all five nucleobases — building blocks of DNA and RNA — in samples returned from asteroid Bennu ...

At the University of Oklahoma, Prof. Indrajeet Sharma is leading a team of scientists that is working on a ‘skeletal editing’ technique that allows repurposing of existing drugs to treat different ...

The placement of nitrogen in natural products is therefore determined by the monooxygenase's preference for oxygen incorporation. The complex oxidation machinery is based on molecular shape ...

Explain that a molecule of ammonia has 1 nitrogen atom and 3 hydrogen atoms. Ask students to use Snap Cubes to make an ammonia molecule. Then show students the animated Snap Cube model of an ammonia ...

University of Missouri researchers and collaborators have developed a new chemical tool that could help lower the cost of prescription medications. The tool, called AshPhos, is a ligand, or molecule, ...

Researchers have developed a new chemical tool that could help lower the cost of prescription medications. The tool, called AshPhos, is a ligand, or molecule, that makes it easier to create special ...
