Hydrogenase proteins catalyze the reversible conversion of molecular hydrogen to protons
and electrons. The most abundant hydrogenases contain a [NiFe] active site; these proteins …

Molecular hydrogen (H2) is used as an energy source or a way to deposit excess reducing
power by a wide range of microorganisms. Both H2 oxidation and production are catalysed …

The development of solar water-splitting systems provides a route to renewable H2.[1] A
prerequisite for an efficient water-splitting process is the availability of highly efficient …

Hydrogenases control the H2-related metabolism in many microbes. Most of these enzymes
are prone to immediate inactivation by O2. However, a few members of the subclass of …

We report the 3.3 Å resolution structure of dimeric membrane-bound O 2-tolerant
hydrogenase 1 from Escherichia coli in a 2: 1 complex with its physiological partner …

Recently, a novel group of [NiFe]-hydrogenases has been defined that appear to have a
great impact in the global hydrogen cycle. This so-called group 5 [NiFe]-hydrogenase is …

“Hyd-1”, produced by Escherichia coli, exemplifies a special class of [NiFe]-hydrogenase
that can sustain high catalytic H2 oxidation activity in the presence of O2 an intruder that …

Photobiological production of hydrogen is considered to be one of the most promising
technologies for replacing or complementing fossil fuel-derived energy. This review focuses …

[NiFe] hydrogenases are key enzymes in the hydrogen metabolism in many microorganisms
and oxidize molecular hydrogen reversibly at a heterobimetallic active site. The released …

The finite reservation of fossil fuels accelerates the necessity of development of renewable
energy sources. Recent advances in synthetic biology encompassing systems biology and …
