Abstract

The initial step of methanogenesis from CO 2 is the formation of formyl-methanofuran (formyl-MFR) from methanofuran (MFR), CO 2 and H 2. The enzymology of this novel type of CO 2 fixation reaction has been difficult to study because formyl-MFR synthesis is subject to a complex activation. Recently, however, a number of advances have made questions regarding formyl-MFR synthesis more approachable.
