Two ligand-binding sites in CO-reducing V nitrogenase reveal a general mechanistic principle

Besides its role in biological nitrogen fixation, vanadium-containing nitrogenase also reduces carbon monoxide (CO) to hydrocarbons, in analogy to the industrial Fischer-Tropsch process. The protein yields 93% of ethylene (C(2)H(4)), implying a C–C coupling step that mandates the simultaneous bindin...
