Key Points

  • This research investigates the role of a Zundel ion in the proton transfer pathway of [FeFe]-hydrogenases.
  • Examined the catalytic mechanisms of [FeFe]-hydrogenases.
  • Analyzed the interaction of protons and molecular hydrogen.
  • Investigated the structure of the active site cofactor.
  • Identified metalloenzymes as key players in proton transfer.
  • Showed that molecular hydrogen is interconverted effectively in the process.

Abstract

FeFe-hydrogenases are metalloenzymes that catalyze the interconversion of protons, electrons, and molecular hydrogen (H2). Their active site cofactor is constituted by a 4Fe-4S cluster (4FeH) and a diiron site (2FeH),...
