A hydrogenase model system based on the sequence of cytochrome c: photochemical hydrogen evolution in aqueous media.

چکیده
The diiron carbonyl cluster is held by a native CXXC motif, which includes Cys14 and Cys17, in the cytochrome c sequence. It is found that the diiron carbonyl complex works well as a catalyst for H(2) evolution. It has a TON of ∼80 over 2 h at pH 4.7 in the presence of a Ru-photosensitizer and ascorbate as a sacrificial reagent in aqueous media.

Structural Characteristics of Stable Folding Intermediates of Yeast Iso-1-Cytochrome-c
Cytochrome-c (cyt-c) is an electron transport protein, and it is present throughout the evolution. More than 280 sequences have been reported in the protein sequence database (www.uniprot.org). Though sequentially diverse, cyt-c has essentially retained its tertiary structure or fold. Thus a vast data set of varied sequences with retention of similar structure and fun...
متن کاملThe Hydrogenase System of Clostridium pasteurianum
Peck and Gest (1) reported that crude extracts of Clostridium butylicum produce small amounts of hydrogen from aqueous dithionite (hydrosulfite). Hydrogen evolution from dithionite decreased upon dilution of the crude extracts and was lost upon further purification (2). This loss of activity was interpreted on the basis of a cofactor requirement or loss of an essential enzyme. Evolution of hydr...
متن کاملComparasion of Photochemical Oxidation Process Efficiency Based on Hydrogen Peroxide and Persulfate for the Removal of Paraquat from Aqueous Solutions
Introduction and purpose: One of the most important factors in the contamination of aquatic ecosystems is agricultural pesticides. Paraquat is a water-soluble and non-selective herbicide, which has adverse health effects, such as respiratory distress and even death. This study aimed to evaluate the degradability of paraquat toxins using photochemical oxidation processes based on hydrogen peroxi...
متن کاملHydrogen Evolution Catalyzed by Hydrogenase in Cultures of Cyanobacteria
Cultures of Anabaena cylindrica, grown on media containing 5 m M NH4C1 (which represses heterocyst formation), evolved hydrogen after a period of dark incubation under an argon atmosphere. This hydrogen production was not due to nitrogenase activity, which was nearly undetectable, but was due to a hydrogenase. Cultures grown on media with tungsten substituted for molybdenum had a high frequency...
متن کاملPhotosensitized production of hydrogen by hydrogenase in reversed micelles.
Hydrogenase (hydrogen:ferricytochrome c(3) oxidoreductase, EC 1.12.2.1) from Desulfovibrio vulgaris was encapsulated in reversed micelles with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as surfactant and a chloroform/octane mixture as solvent. Reducing equivalents for hydrogenase-catalyzed hydrogen production were provided by vectorial photosensitized electron transfer from a donor (thiophenol) in the orga...
