Acetyl-CoA synthase/CO dehydrogenase CODH/ACS, a nanomachine.CODH is represented as a transformer for generating CO and ACS as a condenser that converts CO, a methyl group, and CoA to form acetyl-CoA, a cellular biosynthetic building block and source of ATP. Ragsdale, S. W. Crit. ReV. Biochem. Mol. Biol. 2004, 39, 165-195.
Due to the large energy input required to generate it from CO2, CO is produced industrially from fossil fuels. • Even with strong reducing agents, however, overcoming the O=CO bond enthalpy of 532 kJ/mol often presents kinetic difficulties.
