Abstract
The apparently simple dihydrogen formation from protons and electrons (2H+ + 2e- ⇄ H2) is one of the most challenging reactions in nature. It is catalyzed by metalloenzymes of amazing complexity, called hydrogenases. A better understanding of the chemistry of these enzymes, especially that of the [NiFe]-hydrogenases subgroup, has important implications for production of H2 as alternative sustainable fuel. In this work, reactivation mechanism of the oxidized and inactive Ni-B and Ni-A states of the [NiFe]-hydrogenases active site has been investigated using density functional theory. Results obtained from this study show that one-electron reduction and protonation of the active site promote the removal of the bridging hydroxide ligand contained in Ni-B and Ni-A. However, this process is sufficient to activate only the Ni-B state. H2 binding to the active site is required to convert Ni-A to the active Ni-SIa state. Here, we also propose a reasonable structure for the spectroscopically well-characterized Ni-SIr and Ni-SU species, formed respectively from the one-electron reduction of Ni-B and Ni-A. Ni-SIr, depending on the pH at which the reaction occurs, features a bridging hydroxide ligand or a water molecule terminally coordinated to the Ni atom, whereas in Ni-SU a water molecule is terminally coordinated to the Fe atom, and the Cys64 residue is oxidized to sulfenate. The sulfenate oxygen atom in the Ni-A state affects the stereoelectronic properties of the binuclear cluster by modifying the coordination geometry of Ni, and consequently, by switching the regiochemistry of H2O and H2 binding from the Ni to the Fe atom. This effect is predicted to be at the origin of the different reactivation kinetics of the oxidized and inactive Ni-B and Ni-A states.

Abstract
"Hyd-1", produced by Escherichia coli , exemplifies a special class of [NiFe]-hydrogenase that can sustain high catalytic H(2) oxidation activity in the presence of O(2)-an intruder that normally incapacitates the sulfur- and electron-rich active site. The mechanism of "O(2) tolerance" involves a critical role for the Fe-S clusters of the electron relay, which is to ensure the availability-for immediate transfer back to the active site-of all of the electrons required to reduce an attacking O(2) molecule completely to harmless H(2)O. The unique [4Fe-3S] cluster proximal to the active site is crucial because it can rapidly transfer two of the electrons needed. Here we investigate and establish the equally crucial role of the high potential medial [3Fe-4S] cluster, located >20 Å from the active site. A variant, P242C, in which the medial [3Fe-4S] cluster is replaced by a [4Fe-4S] cluster, is unable to sustain steady-state H(2) oxidation activity in 1% O(2). The [3Fe-4S] cluster is essential only for the first stage of complete O(2) reduction, ensuring the supply of all three electrons needed to form the oxidized inactive state "Ni-B" or "Ready" (Ni(III)-OH). Potentiometric titrations show that Ni-B is easily reduced (E(m) ≈ +0.1 V at pH 6.0); this final stage of the O(2)-tolerance mechanism regenerates active enzyme, effectively completing a competitive four-electron oxidase cycle and is fast regardless of alterations at the proximal or medial clusters. As a consequence of all these factors, the enzyme's response to O(2), viewed by its electrocatalytic activity in protein film electrochemistry (PFE) experiments, is merely to exhibit attenuated steady-state H(2) oxidation activity; thus, O(2) behaves like a reversible inhibitor rather than an agent that effectively causes irreversible inactivation. The data consolidate a rich picture of the versatile role of Fe-S clusters in electron relays and suggest that Hyd-1 can function as a proficient hydrogen oxidase.

Abstract
Fermentative hydrogen yield was investigated in the Frankia strain R43, which was grown in different amounts of the carbon source propionate. In relation to hydrogen yield, the hydrogenase enzyme was characterized by use of Western blot. A bioreactor study revealed a 10-fold increase in growth within 50 h. The study showed that there is an active anaerobic hydrogen production in Frankia R43 and that this hydrogenase is immunologically related to the subunit HoxU of Ralstonia eutropha.

Abstract
The increasing importance of hydrogenase enzymes in the new energy research field has led us to examine the structure and dynamics of potential hydrogenase mimics, based on a ferrocene-peptide scaffold, using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. To enable this MD study, a molecular mechanics force field for ferrocene-bearing peptides was developed and implemented in the CHARMM simulation package, thus extending the usefulness of the package into peptide-bioorganometallic chemistry. Using the automated frequency-matching method (AFMM), optimized intramolecular force-field parameters were generated through quantum chemical reference normal modes. The partial charges for ferrocene were derived by fitting point charges to quantum-chemically computed electrostatic potentials. The force field was tested against experimental X-ray crystal structures of dipeptide derivatives of ferrocene-1,1'-dicarboxylic acid. The calculations reproduce accurately the molecular geometries, including the characteristic C2-symmetrical intramolecular hydrogen-bonding pattern, that were stable over 0.1 micros MD simulations. The crystal packing properties of ferrocene-1-(D)alanine-(D)proline-1'-(D)alanine-(D)proline were also accurately reproduced. The lattice parameters of this crystal were conserved during a 0.1 micros MD simulation and match the experimental values almost exactly. Simulations of the peptides in dichloromethane are also in good agreement with experimental NMR and circular dichroism (CD) data in solution. The developed force field was used to perform MD simulations on novel, as yet unsynthesized peptide fragments that surround the active site of [Ni-Fe] hydrogenase. The results of this simulation lead us to propose an improved design for synthetic peptide-based hydrogenase models. The presented MD simulation results of metallocenes thereby provide a convincing validation of our proposal to use ferrocene-peptides as minimal enzyme mimics.

Abstract
Enzymatic electrocatalysis, triggered and monitored by means of cyclic voltammetry, enabled us to achieve quantitative analysis of the kinetics of the hydrogenase catalyzed process, in the 7.8-10.0 pH range, in the presence of an electrochemically generated redox mediator. The quantitative analysis can be carried out by use of a quite simple SRC model. The simplicity of the SRC model is compatible with the existence of multiple redox microstates, which can be combined in a potential adjustable triangular mechanism consisting of three catalytic cycles, which are formally identical from the kinetic point of view. The steps involved in the kinetic control of the reversible process are H2 uptake or production at the Ni-Fe catalytic site and the intermolecular electron transfer between the mediator and the distal [4Fe-4S] cluster. The related rate constants have been determined. For the two accompanying intramolecular electron transfers which proceed at equilibrium, the equilibrium constants were found to be in very good agreement with previously published data.

Abstract
Two methods based on the avidin-biotin technology were developed for the multimonolayer immobilization of Desulfovibrio gigas hydrogenase on glassy carbon or gold electrodes. In both methods the molecular structure of the modified interface was the result of a step-by-step process. The first method alternates monolayers of avidin and biotinylated hydrogenase, the mediator (methyl viologen) being free to diffuse in the structure. In the second method, the avidin monolayers were used to immobilize both the biotinylated enzyme and a long-chain biotinylated viologen derivative. The viologen head of this hydrophilic arm shuttles the electrons between the electrode and the enzyme. The modified electrodes were evaluated for the electroenzymatic oxidation of molecular hydrogen, which has interest for the development of enzymatic fuel cells. The parameters that affect the current density of mediated oxidation of H(2) at the modified electrodes was studied. The second structure, which has given typical catalytic currents of 25 microA per cm(2) for 10 monolayers, was found clearly less efficient than the first structure (500 microA per cm(2) for 10 monolayers). In both methods the catalytic currents increased linearly with the number of monolayers of hydrogenase immobilized, which indicates that the multilayer structures are spatially ordered.

Abstract
These studies develop a methodology to form supported phospholipid bilayers at an electrode/solution interface that models biological membrane systems. Two kinds of electrode were used, a planar gold electrode and a microporous aluminium oxide electrode on which octadecanethiol or octadecyltrichlorosilane was self-assembled. The supported lipidic structures were produced by transfer of a phospholipid monolayer by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique or by direct fusion of phospholipid vesicles. Ubiquinone was introduced into the lipidic structures during their formation; electrochemical measurements demonstrated the mobility of ubiquinone along the plane of the bilayer. A membrane enzyme, pyruvate oxidase from E. coli, was successfully incorporated into this artificial bilayer and was found to be able to exchange electrons with ubiquinone present in the bilayer.

Abstract
The kinetics of electron transfer between the Desulfovibrio gigas hydrogenase and several electron-transfer proteins from Desulfovibrio species were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, square-wave voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The cytochrome c3 from Desulfovibrio vulgaris (Hildenborough), Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (Norway 4), Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (American Type Culture Collection 27774) and D. gigas (NCIB 9332) were used as redox carriers. They differ in their redox potentials and isoelectric point. Depending on the pH, all the reduced forms of these cytochromes were effective in electron exchange with hydrogenase. Other small electron-transfer proteins such as ferredoxin I, ferredoxin II and rubredoxin from D. gigas were tentatively used as redox carriers. Only ferredoxin II was effective in mediating electron exchange between hydrogenase and the working electrode. The second-order rate constants k for the reaction between reduced proteins and hydrogenase were calculated based on the theory of the simplest electrocatalytic mechanism [Moreno, C., Costa, C., Moura, I., Le Gall, J., Liu, M. Y., Payne, W. J., van Dijk, C. & Moura, J. J. G. (1993) Eur. J. Biochem. 212, 79-86] and the results obtained by cyclic voltammetry were compared with those obtained by chronoamperometry. Values for k of 10(5)-10(6) M-1 s-1 (cytochrome c3 as electron carrier) and 10(4) M-1 s-1 (ferredoxin II as the electron carrier) were determined. The rate-constant values are discussed in terms of the existence of an electrostatic interaction between the electrode surface and the redox carrier and between the redox carrier and a positively charged part of the enzyme.

Abstract
The effect of redox potential on the catalytic activities of the soluble hydrogenase from the hydrogen bacterium Alcaligenes eutrophus Z1 was studied. Several transitions were observed on the enzyme catalytic activity vs potential profiles. The coenzyme-dependent activities of the hydrogenase, its diaphorase activity and activity toward NAD, are controlled by the Em -300 mV, while the process of hydrogen evolution from reduced methyl viologen is governed by the midpoint redox potential of -435 mV. This value of Em was independent of pH in the range 5 to 8. The redox potential of the medium appears to be one of the major factors determining the hydrogenase activation, inactivation, and catalytic properties. It is suggested that a change in the redox state of the enzyme electron transport chain is followed by structural rearrangements within the protein affecting both the hydrogenase catalytic activity and stability. The probable mechanism of enzyme activity regulation is discussed.

Abstract
A formal kinetic treatment of the autocatalytic activation cycle of the NAD-dependent hydrogenase from Alcaligenes eutrophus Z1 is presented. The value for the enzyme first-order activation rate constant is estimated to be (2.0 +/- 0.6) s-1 (pH 7.8, 25 degrees C). The effect of the redox potential on the activation properties of the NAD-dependent hydrogenase is studied. Hydrogenase activation is controlled by a midpoint redox potential of approximately -100 mV (pH 7.8). Once activated the enzyme is not immediately transformed back into an inactive state on rapid reoxidation and is able to preserve its catalytic properties for at least 3-4 h of intense oxigenation. Several lines of evidence show that the reductive activation of the NAD-dependent hydrogenase is accompanied by a structural reorganization of the protein. A possible origin of the -100 mV transition is discussed. A model for the activation process of the NAD-dependent hydrogenase is suggested.

Abstract
Three types of hydrogenases have been isolated from the sulfate-reducing bacteria of the genus Desulfovibrio. They differ in their subunit and metal compositions, physico-chemical characteristics, amino acid sequences, immunological reactivities, gene structures and their catalytic properties. Broadly, the hydrogenases can be considered as 'iron only' hydrogenases and nickel-containing hydrogenases. The iron-sulfur-containing hydrogenase ([Fe] hydrogenase) contains two ferredoxin-type (4Fe-4S) clusters and an atypical iron-sulfur center believed to be involved in the activation of H2. The [Fe] hydrogenase has the highest specific activity in the evolution and consumption of hydrogen and in the proton-deuterium exchange reaction and this enzyme is the most sensitive to CO and NO2-. It is not present in all species of Desulfovibrio. The nickel-(iron-sulfur)-containing hydrogenases [( NiFe] hydrogenases) possess two (4Fe-4S) centers and one (3Fe-xS) cluster in addition to nickel and have been found in all species of Desulfovibrio so far investigated. The redox active nickel is ligated by at least two cysteinyl thiolate residues and the [NiFe] hydrogenases are particularly resistant to inhibitors such as CO and NO2-. The genes encoding the large and small subunits of a periplasmic and a membrane-bound species of the [NiFe] hydrogenase have been cloned in Escherichia (E.) coli and sequenced. Their derived amino acid sequences exhibit a high degree of homology (70%); however, they show no obvious metal-binding sites or homology with the derived amino acid sequence of the [Fe] hydrogenase. The third class is represented by the nickel-(iron-sulfur)-selenium-containing hydrogenases [( NiFe-Se] hydrogenases) which contain nickel and selenium in equimolecular amounts plus (4Fe-4S) centers and are only found in some species of Desulfovibrio. The genes encoding the large and small subunits of the periplasmic hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio (D.) baculatus (DSM 1743) have been cloned in E. coli and sequenced. The derived amino acid sequence exhibits homology (40%) with the sequence of the [NiFe] hydrogenase and the carboxy-terminus of the gene for the large subunit contains a codon (TGA) for selenocysteine in a position homologous to a codon (TGC) for cysteine in the large subunit of the [NiFe] hydrogenase. EXAFS and EPR studies with the 77Se-enriched D. baculatus hydrogenase indicate that selenium is a ligand to nickel and suggest that the redox active nickel is ligated by at least two cysteinyl thiolate and one selenocysteine selenolate residues.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio baculatus (DSM 1743) was purified from each of three different fractions: soluble periplasmic (wash), soluble cytoplasmic (cell disruption) and membrane-bound (detergent solubilization). Plasma-emission metal analysis detected in all three fractions the presence of iron plus nickel and selenium in equimolecular amounts. These hydrogenases were shown to be composed of two non-identical subunits and were distinct with respect to their spectroscopic properties. The EPR spectra of the native (as isolated) enzymes showed very weak isotropic signals centered around g approximately 2.0 when observed at low temperature (below 20 K). The periplasmic and membrane-bound enzymes also presented additional EPR signals, observable up to 77 K, with g greater than 2.0 and assigned to nickel(III). The periplasmic hydrogenase exhibited EPR features at 2.20, 2.06 and 2.0. The signals observed in the membrane-bound preparations could be decomposed into two sets with g at 2.34, 2.16 and approximately 2.0 (component I) and at 2.33, 2.24, and approximately 2.0 (component II). In the reduced state, after exposure to an H2 atmosphere, all the hydrogenase fractions gave identical EPR spectra. EPR studies, performed at different temperatures and microwave powers, and in samples partially and fully reduced (under hydrogen or dithionite), allowed the identification of two different iron-sulfur centers: center I (2.03, 1.89 and 1.86) detectable below 10 K, and center II (2.06, 1.95 and 1.88) which was easily saturated at low temperatures. Additional EPR signals due to transient nickel species were detected with g greater than 2.0, and a rhombic EPR signal at 77 K developed at g 2.20, 2.16 and 2.0. This EPR signal is reminiscent of the Ni-signal C (g at 2.19, 2.14 and 2.02) observed in intermediate redox states of the well characterized Desulfovibrio gigas hydrogenase (Teixeira et al. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 8942]. During the course of a redox titration at pH 7.6 using H2 gas as reductant, this signal attained a maximal intensity around -320 mV. Low-temperature studies of samples at redox states where this rhombic signal develops (10 K or lower) revealed the presence of a fast-relaxing complex EPR signal with g at 2.25, 2.22, 2.15, 2.12, 2.10 and broad components at higher field. The soluble hydrogenase fractions did not show a time-dependent activation but the membrane-bound form required such a step in order to express full activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The linear sweep voltammetric method is used as a new approach for kinetic determination with enzymes accepting reversible redox couples as cosubstrate. A monolayer of hydrogenase molecules is grafted onto a glassy carbon electrode which is both the support of the enzyme and the detector of the activity. Reduced viologen concentration in the enzyme microenvironment is controlled by the electrode potential. The catalytic current produced by the enzyme allows an easy kinetic constant determination without the classical constraints found in hydrogenase kinetic measurements.
