One reaction step of the biosynthesis of [Fe]‐hydrogenase‐cofactor is elucidated by S. Shima et al. in their Communication on page 12555 ff. A structural genomics approach, in combination with model reactions and thorough product analysis by X‐ray crystallography of the protein–product complexes, revealed that HcgB is the enzyme that catalyzes guanylylpyridinol formation from a 2,4‐dihydroxypyridine derivative and guanosine triphosphate.
