[Fe]-hydrogenase catalysis visualized using para-hydrogen-enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Spectroscopic method provides more precise insights into hydrogen conversion

17-Dec-2024 - Microorganisms have long used hydrogen as an energy source. To do this, they rely on hydrogenases that contain metals such as nickel or iron in their catalytic center. In order to use these biocatalysts for hydrogen conversion, researchers around the world are working to understand the details of ...
