The difference a Se makes? Oxygen-tolerant hydrogen production by the [NiFeSe]-hydrogenase from Desulfomicrobium baculatum.

Protein film voltammetry studies of the [NiFeSe]-hydrogenase from Desulfomicrobium baculatum show it to be a highly efficient H2 cycling catalyst. In the presence of 100% H2, the ratio of H2 production to H2 oxidation activity is higher than for any conventional [NiFe]-hydrogenases (lacking a seleno...
