Seachem Prime molecules/ions

[40B Knasty]

I am trying to get the complete understanding of Seachem Prime. So here is a question that I can not seem to find an answer for in my over thinking brain that does not have a degree in biology, the periodic table, or works for Seachem to know what Prime is made of and how it technically works.

We all know ammonia is toxic in a tank. My first question is. When a person uses Prime to "neutralize" ammonia (NH³) for the time being. A molecule of ammonia is 1 nitrogen and 3 hydrogen. What ion(s) from Prime is added to this molecule to neutralize the NH³ or does Prime ion(s)/molecules incase the molecule of NH³ or does the Prime act as a catalyst for O² and it makes the original NH³ molecule something like NH³O²?

Prime is a small organic molecule that reacts with ammonia to form a stable covalent bond. It is currently assumed that this new molecule containing the ammonia molecule is consumed by bacteria.

Put aside the ammonia molecules being consumed by bacteria. Look at it like there is no bacteria. Just looking for the chemical make up of this new bound molecule.

I thought it was a ammonia ammonium type thing.

But than what di I know?

Haha I am in the same boat. Just trying to see if someone figured it out.
