Spectroscopic and model studies of the Ni-Fe hydrogenase reaction mechanism

J Biol Inorg Chem. 2001 Apr;6(4):453-9. doi: 10.1007/s007750100225.

Abstract

Ni-Fe H2ases exhibit a number of states that have been spectroscopically characterized. The structural information arising from these spectroscopic studies are compared with predictions from theoretical calculations and are used to address aspects of hydrogenase reaction mechanism.
