Nickel enzymes, present in archaea, bacteria, plants, and primitive eukaryotes are divided
into redox and nonredox enzymes and play key functions in diverse metabolic processes …

Covering: up to the end of 2009 Microorganisms have evolved to utilize nickel ions in
several different enzyme systems that enable these organisms to survive and proliferate in …

Nickel is an essential catalytic cofactor of enzymes found in eubacteria, archaebacteria,
fungi, and plants. 1-6 These enzymes catalyze a diverse array of reactions that include both …

Nickel is now recognized as an essential trace element for bacteria, plants, animals and
humans. 1-6 While the role of this metal in animal biochemistry is still not well defined, to …

The importance of nickel enzymes, where nickel serves as an essential cofactor, in Archaea,
bacteria, plants, and primitive eukaryotes, is well documented. 1 Despite the fact that no …

Nickel is an essential nutrient for selected microorganisms where it participates in a variety
of cellular processes. Many microbes are capable of sensing cellular nickel ion …

This review describes the functions, structures, and mechanisms of nine nickel-containing
enzymes: glyoxalase I, acireductone dioxygenase, urease, superoxide dismutase,[NiFe] …

Of the eight known nickel enzymes, all but glyoxylase I catalyze the use and/or production of
gases central to the global carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen cycles. Nickel appears to have …

Helmut Sigel, Astrid Sigel and Roland KO Sigel, in close cooperation with John Wiley &
