Abstract

Chemical and biochemical methods were used to unravel the unprecedented pathway by which the CN ligands of iron in [NiFe] hydrogenase are introduced. Carbamoyl phosphate is the one carbon precursor of these ligands, and reactions involving a protein cysteinyl sulfur are key for processing this precursor into CN ligands.
