Enzymatic Conversion of CO2 (Carboxylation Reactions and Reduction to Energy-Rich C1 Molecules)

  • Chapter

Abstract

This chapter deals with the enzymatic conversion of CO2. It covers the two aspects of the fixation of the entire CO2 molecule into substrates (carboxylation) and the reduction of CO2 to other C1 (or C2) energy-richer molecules. The known mechanisms are discussed and barriers to exploitation at the industrial level highlighted.
