A kinetic and thermodynamic understanding of O2 tolerance in [NiFe]-hydrogenases.
In biology, rapid oxidation and evolution of H(2) is catalyzed by metalloenzymes known as hydrogenases. These enzymes have unusual active sites, consisting of iron complexed by carbonyl, cyanide, and thiolate ligands, often together with nickel, and are typically inhibited or irreversibly damaged by...
