Fantastic [FeFe]-Hydrogenases and Where to Find Them

[FeFe]-hydrogenases are complex metalloenzymes, key to microbial energy metabolism in numerous organisms. During anaerobic metabolism, they dissipate excess reducing equivalents by using protons from water as terminal electron acceptors, leading to hydrogen production. This reaction is coupled to re...
