title: Dinitrogen Reduction: Interfacing the Enzyme Nitrogenase with Electrodes.
abstract: Potential for nitrogenase: Milton, Minteer, and co-workers report the first evidence for the bioelectrochemical reduction of N2to ammonia by nitrogenase. This complex enzyme could be wired to an electrode by using the soluble mediator methyl viologen; this very simple approach makes it possible to develop a variety of biotechnological devices.
