Graphical Abstract

Kohlenwasserstoffe aus CO: Die Vanadium-Nitrogenase-katalysierte Kohlenmonoxid-Reduktion beruht auf der Adenosintriphosphat(ATP)-abhängigen Protonierung von Kohlenmonoxid und der anschließenden Knüpfung von C-C-Bindungen, die zur Bildung kurzkettiger Kohlenwasserstoffe wie C₂H₄, C₂H₆, C₃H₆ und C₃H₈ führt (siehe Bild). Durch GC/MS verfolgte Isotopenaustauschuntersuchungen zeigen, dass Protonen die Wasserstoffquelle für die CO-Reduktion sind.
