Gases like H2, N2, CO2, and CO are increasingly recognized as critical feedstock in “green”
energy conversion and as sources of nitrogen and carbon for the agricultural and chemical …

The reaction takes place at a specialized metal center that dramatically increases the acidity
of H2 and leads to a heterolytic splitting of the molecule which is strongly accelerated by the …

If the atmosphere of the early Earth was hydrogen-rich, 1 it is reasonable to think that
hydrogenases, the enzymes enabling cells to use molecular hydrogen, were probably …

Abstract The US Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory are
developing technologies to produce hydrogen from renewable, sustainable sources. A cost …

The utilization of hydrogen by micro-organisms as a source of reducing power or of protons
as final electron acceptors is mediated by metalloenzymes called hydrogenases. The need …

This review regards the use of dynamic electrochemistry to study the mechanism of redox
enzymes, with exclusive emphasis on the configuration where the protein is adsorbed onto …

Molecular mechanics simulations offer a computational approach to study the behavior of
biomolecules at atomic detail, but such simulations are limited in size and timescale by the …

Enzymes are very efficient catalysts that are essential for the functioning of living organisms.
The low efficiency of biocatalysts produced de novo relative to those that have evolved …

Introduction to Proteins provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art introduction to the
structure, function, and motion of proteins for students, faculty, and researchers at all levels …

Proton transfer and transport in water, gramicidin and some selected channels and
bioenergetic proteins are reviewed. An attempt is made to draw some conclusions about …
