Improving hydrogenase O2 tolerance for a sustainable hydrogen economy

HOT Review articleread it now

Improving hydrogenase O2 tolerance is a major contemporary challenge to allow the implementation of a sustainable hydrogen economy, as hydrogenases catalyze the conversion between 2H+ + 2e and H2.

In this Review Christophe Léger and colleagues explore different methods to improve the O2-tolerance of the O2-sensitive [Ni–Fe] hydrogenase.
