The unique catalytic activity of vanadium nitrogenase suggests a new direction for the direct production of biofuels from CO with either synthetic catalysts or nitrogenase-containing bacteria. The reduction of CO by V nitrogenase to light hydrocarbons shows striking similarities to the established Fischer-Tropsch process; however, the enzyme does not use H(2) directly for this reaction. ADP=adenosine diphosphate, ATP= adenosine triphosphate.
钒氮酶独特的催化活性为利用合成催化剂或含有氮酶的细菌将 CO 直接转化为生物燃料提供了新的方向。V 氮酶将 CO 还原为轻烃的过程与已建立的费托合成过程惊人地相似；然而，该酶在反应中不直接使用 H(2)。ADP=二磷酸腺苷，ATP=三磷酸腺苷。
