The mechanism of activation of a [NiFe]-hydrogenase by electrons, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide.

Activation of the oxidized inactive state (termed Unready or Ni(u)) of the [NiFe]-hydrogenase from Allochromatium vinosum requires removal of an unidentified oxidizing entity [O], produced by partial reduction of O(2). Dynamic electrochemical kinetic studies, subjecting enzyme molecules on an electr...
