| Accepted name: |
ferredoxin hydrogenase |
| Reaction: |
H2 + 2 oxidized ferredoxin = 2 reduced ferredoxin + 2 H+ |
| Other name(s): |
H2 oxidizing hydrogenase; H2 producing hydrogenase [ambiguous]; bidirectional hydrogenase; hydrogen-lyase [ambiguous]; hydrogenase (ferredoxin); hydrogenase I; hydrogenase II; hydrogenlyase [ambiguous]; uptake hydrogenase [ambiguous] |
| Systematic name: |
hydrogen:ferredoxin oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
Contains iron-sulfur clusters. The enzymes from some sources contains nickel. Can use molecular hydrogen for the reduction of a variety of substances. |
