Abstract

Nitrogen is a key building block in all life forms; it is an essential element in many fundamental cell components, such as proteins, DNA, RNA, and vitamins, as well as in hormones and enzymes. Nitrogen is an extremely versatile element, existing in both inorganic and organic forms as well as in many oxidation states. Nitrogen gas constitutes almost 80 % of the atmosphere and is therefore present almost everywhere.
