Nitrogenases are best known for catalysing the reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia at a complex metallic cofactor. Recently, nitrogenases were shown to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide to hydrocarbons, offering a pathway to recycle carbon waste into hydrocarbon products. Among the nitrogenase family the iron nitrogenase is the isozyme with the highest wildtype activity for the reduction of CO2, but the molecular architecture facilitating these...
