This peri­ od has produced a literature that now describes the N2 fixation reac­ tion and the nitrogenase enzyme itself in sophisticated terms, though a detailed reaction mechanism at the chemical level has not yet emerged. It is the purpose of the present monograph to present an in-depth re­ view, analysis, and integration of this research as is possible with a non-contributed publication and to relate this work to considera­ tions of N2 fixation that reach beyond the confines of the biochem­ ist's laboratory. The first section is directed as much toward the general science read­ er as toward the specialist. It covers the agricultural origins of man's interest in N2 fixation and also pertinent areas of taxonomy, physiology, and evolution. Ecological aspects of the subject include a comprehensive evaluation of the nitrogen cycle leading to a sub­ stantially greater estimate of the rate of global N2 fixation than previous ones. The treatment is of a survey fashion, in part to pro­ vide a general over-view of N2 fixation and in part to provide context for the biochemistry and biophysics that follow in the second section.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-12-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642809286\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-80926-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 244.0cm x170.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 192.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44448454967436,"sku":"9783642809286","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642809286.jpg?v=1756867568","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783642809286","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
