How the oxygen tolerance of a [NiFe]-hydrogenase depends on quaternary structure
‘Oxygen-tolerant’ [NiFe]-hydrogenases can catalyze H2 oxidation under aerobic conditions, avoiding oxygenation and destruction of the active site. In one mechanism accounting for this special property, membrane-bound [NiFe]-hydrogenases accommodate a pool of electrons that allows an O2 molecule atta...
