the first evidence that such a mechanism is used in methanofuranbiosynthesis. MfnF belongs to the hydantoinase A family (PF01968) and exhibits a unique α/β two-layer sandwich structure that is different from the enzymes catalyzing similar reactions. Our results show that MfnF catalyzes the formation of an ether bond during methanofuranbiosynthesis. Therefore, this work further expands the functionality
