Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 a 30% reduction statewide, with mandatory caps beginning in 2012 for significant emissions sources. The bill also allows the Governor to suspend the emissions caps for up to a year in case of emergency or significant economic harm. The State of California leads the nation in energy efficiency standards and plays a lead role in environmental protection, but is also the 12th largest emitter of carbon worldwide. Greenhouse gas emissions are defined in the bill to include all of the following: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, hydrofluorocarbons and perfluorocarbons. These are the same greenhouse gases listed in Annex
Nitrous-oxide reductase competent unit. The Cu center can undergo a one-electron redox change and hence has a function similar to that in the well-known aa-type cytochrome "c" oxidases () where it serves to receive an electron from soluble cytochromes "c". Acetylene is the most specific inhibitor of nitrous-oxide reductase. Other inhibitors include azide anion, thiocyanate, carbon monoxide, iodide, and cyanide. Nitrous-oxide reductase In enzymology, a nitrous oxide reductase also known as nitrogen:acceptor oxidoreductase (NO-forming) is an enzyme that catalyzes the final step in bacterial denitrification, the reduction of nitrous oxide to dinitrogen. It plays a critical role in preventing release of a
