Mechanistic exploitation of a self-repairing, blocked proton transfer pathway in an O2-tolerant [NiFe]-hydrogenase

Catalytic long-range proton transfer in [NiFe]-hydrogenases has long been associated with a highly conserved glutamate (E) situated within 4 Å of the active site. Substituting for glutamine (Q) in the O2-tolerant [NiFe]-hydrogenase-1 from Escherichia coli produces a variant (E28Q) with unique proper...
