This study enhances Fe-nitrogenase's ability to convert CO2 to hydrocarbons through directed evolution, increasing CH4 production and expanding the product spectrum to include ethane and CO.

This study presents the first molecular structure of methylthio-alkane reductase, revealing metalloclusters that inform its function and evolutionary relationship to nitrogenases.

This study shows the Fe nitrogenase in Rhodobacter capsulatus is more efficient at reducing CO2 than Mo nitrogenase but less selective for N2, leading to increased CO2 reduction to methane under physiological conditions.
