Decoding the Elusive Redox Properties of [FeS] Clusters in [FeFe]-Hydrogenase on a Nanostructured Electrode Open
Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) is essential for [FeFe]-hydrogenase to operate reversibly with high activity at a minimal overpotential. However, whether the reduction of the [4Fe4S] cluster is proton-coupled during the catalytic c…

The unusual formaldehyde-induced activation of [NiFe]-hydrogenase: Implications from protein film electrochemistry and infrared spectroscopy Open
Here we investigate how formaldehyde (HCHO), a known strong inhibitor of [FeFe]‑hydrogenases and a mild inhibitor of [NiFe]‑hydrogenases, may exert more complex effects on this group of metalloenzymes, which reversibly catalyze the 2H+/H₂ …

Exploiting Bidirectional Electrocatalysis by a Nanoconfined Enzyme Cascade to Drive and Control Enantioselective Reactions Open
The ability to drive and observe rapid enzyme catalysis in both directions is an important and natural consequence of immobilizing cascade components within electrode nanopores and coupling reactions to the fast, quasi-reversible NADP+/NAD…
