Over the last 10 years, during the lifetime of the nitrogen cycle meetings, structural biology, coupled with spectroscopy, has had a major impact of our understanding enzymology of the nitrogen cycle. The three-dimensional structures for many of the key enzymes have now been resolved and have provided a wealth of information regarding the architecture of redox active metal sites, as well as revealing novel structural folds. Coupled with structure-based spectroscopic analysis, this has led to new insight into the reaction mechanisms of the diverse chemical transformations that together cycle nitrogen in the biosphere. An overview of the some of the key developments in field over the last decade is presented.

Three instances of the involvement of dioxygen-derived radicals in biological systems are considered. The first concerns the formation of radicals in the haemolytic reactions induced by treatment of erythrocytes by phenylhydrazine, as an example of the so-called ‘oxidant drugs’. The evidence for the formation of phenyl radicals is considered and their origin in the oxidation of phenylhydrazine by a ferryl derivative of haemoglobin postulated. The relevance to the formation of phenylated iron and porphyrin species is described. It is suspected that many instances of oxidative damage to cellular systems result from the coincidence of unsequestered redox-active metal ions (particularly those of iron and copper), reductants, and dioxygen. As an example, the damage to hepatocytes, grown in a culture medium containing cysteine, is described. The formation of radical species derived from dioxygen during the respiratory burst associated with phagocytosis is discussed. A new electrochemical method of detecting the superoxide ion produced during the respiratory burst is described. Particular emphasis is placed on the relation between the production of radical species such as the hydroxyl radical and the superoxide ion, and the extent of phagocytosis.

A non-aqueous redox flow battery based on all-PEGylated, metal-free compounds is presented. The PEGylation enhances the stability of the redox-active materials, alleviating crossover by increasing the anolyte and catholyte species’ molecular sizes.
