Aerobic Damage to [FeFe]-Hydrogenases: Activation Barriers for the Chemical Attachment of O2**

[FeFe]-hydrogenases are the best natural hydrogen-producing enzymes but their biotechnological exploitation is hampered by their extreme oxygen sensitivity. The free energy profile for the chemical attachment of O2 to the enzyme active site was investigated by using a range-separated density functio...
