NiFe-type cytoplasmic hydrogenase from Pyrococcus furiosus, recombinant

The [NiFe] hydrogenases contain a minimum of two subunits known as the small (S) and large (L) subunits. The small subunit contains three iron-sulfur clusters while the large subunit contains the active site, a nickel-iron center which is connected to the solvent by a molecular tunnel. To date, periplasmic, cytoplasmic, and membrane-bound hydrogenases have been found. [NiFe] hydrogenases are known to be deactivated by molecular oxygen (O2). The [NiFe] hydrogenase of Pyrococcus furiosus is heterotetrameric wherein the additional two subunits allow the enzyme to use NAD(P)(H) as an electron carrier.
