Formaldehyde--a rapid and reversible inhibitor of hydrogen production by [FeFe]-hydrogenases.
Dihydrogen (H(2)) production by [FeFe]-hydrogenases is strongly inhibited by formaldehyde (methanal) in a reaction that is rapid, reversible, and specific to this type of hydrogenase. This discovery, using three [FeFe]-hydrogenases that are homologous about the active site but otherwise structurally...
