According to a story on the Nature magazine news site scientists have finally figured out the structure of the last of three hydrogenase enzymes. Why is this important? Because hydrogenase enzymes are the key to splitting hydrogen from water to create carbohydrates in the natural world. Green plants and some microbes and algae use this process. It has long been assumed that, if we understand the structure and operation of these enzymes, we will be able to produce artificial Photosynthesis and through that process and an endless supply of fuel in the form of carbon/hydrogen compounds.
