EC 1.12.1.4 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.12.1.4

Accepted name

hydrogenase (NAD⁺, ferredoxin)

Reaction

2 H₂ + NAD⁺ + 2 oxidized ferredoxin = 5 H⁺ + NADH + 2 reduced ferredoxin

Other name(s)

bifurcating [FeFe] hydrogenase

Systematic name

hydrogen:NAD⁺, ferredoxin oxidoreductase

Comment

The enzyme from Thermotoga maritima contains a [FeFe] cluster (H-cluster) and iron-sulfur clusters. It works in the direction evolving hydrogen as a means of eliminating excess reducing equivalents.
