Abstract

Methyl coenzyme M reductase (MCR) is the key enzyme that catalyzes the last step of methane formation in all methanogenic archaea.[1] It converts the two substrates methyl coenzyme M (CH3-S-CoM) and coenzyme B (CoB-SH) into methane and the corresponding heterodisulfide (CoB-SS-CoM)(Scheme 1).
