Haruo Inoue opened the discussion of the paper by Seigo Shima: Thank you for your nice talk. The conversion process of CO2 into methane takes 8 steps and the electrons of hydrogen are once converted in the form of organic hydride. It is a bit difficult for a chemist to imagine the molecular mechanism where and how the hydride interacts with CO2 and how CO2 is captured prior to their interaction. Could you explain about those points?Seigo Shima answered: In the hydrogenotrophic methanogenic pathway, CO2 is reduced with two electrons from ferredoxin. This reaction is catalyzed by formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase (Fwd). CO2 reduction in this enzyme system is catalyzed by the subunits that are homologous to Mo-or W-containing formate dehydrogenase (Fdh). According to the proposed catalytic mechanisms of Fdhs, In Fwd, a hydride, or two electrons, appears to transfer from the tungsten complex to the activated form of CO2, which was captured at the metal site or at the side chain of arginine located near the metal site.
