The incorporation of carbon into the carbon monoxide and cyanide ligands of [NiFe]‐hydrogenases has been investigated by using 13 C labelling in infrared studies of the Allochromatium vinosum enzyme and by 14 C labelling experiments with overproduced Hyp proteins from Escherichia coli . The results suggest that the biosynthetic routes of the carbon monoxide and cyanide ligands in [NiFe]‐hydrogenases are different.
