The reaction takes place at a specialized metal center that dramatically increases the acidity
of H2 and leads to a heterolytic splitting of the molecule which is strongly accelerated by the …

The activation of molecular hydrogen is of interest both from a chemical and biological
viewpoint. The covalent bond of H2 is strong (436 kJ mol− 1). Its cleavage is catalyzed by …

Hydrogen is often proposed as the fuel of the future, but the transformation from the present
fossil fuel economy to a hydrogen economy will need the solution of numerous complex …

Many microorganisms, such as methanogenic, acetogenic, nitrogen-fixing, photosynthetic,
or sulfate-reducing bacteria, metabolize hydrogen.[1, 2a] Hydrogen activation is mediated by …

The utilization of hydrogen by micro-organisms as a source of reducing power or of protons
as final electron acceptors is mediated by metalloenzymes called hydrogenases. The need …

Biological formation and consumption of molecular hydrogen (H2) are catalyzed by
hydrogenases, of which three phylogenetically unrelated types are known:[NiFe] …
