Ambient conversion of CO2 to hydrocarbons by biogenic and synthetic [Fe4S4] clusters
Ambient conversion of CO<sub>2</sub> to hydrocarbons by biogenic and synthetic [Fe<sub>4</sub>S<sub>4</sub>] clusters, Published online: 28 May 2018; doi:10.1038/s41929-018-0079-4
The Fe protein of nitrogenase contains a redox-active [Fe4S4] cluster that plays a key role in electron transfer and substrate reduction. Here, Hu and co-workers show that the Fe protein of Methanosarcina acetivorans can reduce CO2 and CO to hydrocarbons under ambient conditions.
