Fritz-Haber Institut Berlin Chemie Nobelpreis 2007 Fritz Haber Nobelpreis 1918, Carl Bosch Nobelpreis 1931

Detailed mechanism of N2 catalysis at catalyst surface

Ertl hat die Grundlage der modernen Oberflächenchemie geschaffen, die so unterschiedlichen Vorgängen wie dem Rosten von Eisen oder der Wirkung eines Katalysators im Auto nachgeht. Ertl wurde 1936 in Stuttgart

  • geboren. Er promovierte 1965 in physikalischer Chemie an der Technischen Universität München und arbeitete

nach verschiedenen Stationen - auch in den USA - seit 1986 am Fritz-Haber-Institut in Berlin.

N2-fixing Organisms

Free-living bacteria: Diazotrophs are cyanobacteria, e.g. trichodesmium, green sulfur bacteria, azotobacteraceae, rhizobia, and Frankia, e.g. in soil. Plants that contribute to nitrogen fixation include the legume family – Fabaceae – with taxa such as beans, lupines, and peanuts. They contain symbiotic bacteria called Rhizobia within nodules in their root systems. Others: of 122 genera in the Rosaceae, only 4 are capable of fixing nitrogen. Root nodules with billions of N2-fixing bacteria (Knöllchenbakterien)

P-cluster Assembly

  • Fig. 4. Stepwise assembly of P-clusters in NifDK (A) and EPR features of the assembly intermediates in the dithionite-reduced (B)

and IDS-oxidized (C) states. (A) The different conformations of P-cluster during assembly are represented by ΔnifH NifDK (left), which contains two [Fe4S4] cluster pairs (or P*-clusters); ΔnifBΔnifZ NifDK (middle), which contains one P-cluster and one [Fe4S4] cluster pair (or P*-cluster); and ΔnifB NifDK (right), which contains two P-clusters. Maturation of the “first” P-cluster requires NifH, whereas maturation of the “second” P-cluster requires both NifH and NifZ. Formation of the P-cluster at the α/β-subunit interface also induces a conformational change of the α-subunit, which “opens” up the M-cluster site. (B and C) The P*-cluster in ΔnifH NifDK (B, left) displays a characteristic S=1/2 signal at g=2.05, 1.93, and 1.90 in the dithionite-reduced state; the P-cluster in ΔnifB NifDK (C, right) displays a characteristic g=11.8 parallel-mode signal in the IDS-oxidized state; the ΔnifBΔnifZ NifDK (B and C, middle) displays both P*- and P-specific signals at ~50% intensity.
