[Fe]-hydrogenase and models that contain iron-acyl ligation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
[Fe]-hydrogenase is a newly characterized type of hydrogenase. This enzyme heterolytically splits hydrogen in the presence of a natural substrate. The active site of the enzyme contains a mono-iron complex with intriguing iron-acyl ligation. Several groups have recently developed iron-acyl complexes as synthetic models of [Fe]-hydrogenase. This Focus Review summarizes the studies of this enzyme and its model compounds, with an emphasis on our own research in this area.

Dynamic ligation at the first amine-coordinated iron hydrogenase active site mimic.
The first model of the iron hydrogenase active site has been prepared in which an amine ligand is loosely coordinated to an Fe(i) centre, and can be replaced by a solvent molecule; irrespective of the ligand set, the one electron reduction of both complexes is chemically reversible and is shown to proceed through the same species which features a bridging CO ligand.
متن کاملReconstitution of [Fe]-hydrogenase using model complexes.
[Fe]-Hydrogenase catalyses the reversible hydrogenation of a methenyltetrahydromethanopterin substrate, which is an intermediate step during the methanogenesis from CO2 and H2. The active site contains an iron-guanylylpyridinol cofactor, in which Fe(2+) is coordinated by two CO ligands, as well as an acyl carbon atom and a pyridinyl nitrogen atom from a 3,4,5,6-substituted 2-pyridinol ligand. H...
متن کاملFerracyclic carbamoyl complexes related to the active site of [Fe]-hydrogenase.
The active site of the [Fe]-hydrogenase features an iron(II) centre bearing cis carbonyl groups and a chelating pyridine-acyl ligand. Reproducing these unusual features in synthetic models is an intriguing challenge, which will allow both better understanding of the enzymatic system and more fundamental insight into the coordination modes of iron. By using the carbamoyl group as a surrogate for...
متن کاملHydrogenases from methanogenic archaea, nickel, a novel cofactor, and H2 storage.
Most methanogenic archaea reduce CO(2) with H(2) to CH(4). For the activation of H(2), they use different [NiFe]-hydrogenases, namely energy-converting [NiFe]-hydrogenases, heterodisulfide reductase-associated [NiFe]-hydrogenase or methanophenazine-reducing [NiFe]-hydrogenase, and F(420)-reducing [NiFe]-hydrogenase. The energy-converting [NiFe]-hydrogenases are phylogenetically related to compl...
متن کاملA look into the “H-Cluster” of FeFe-Hydrogenase through spectroscopic and synthetic methods
Since iron-sulfur clusters exist in our oxidizing environment, it can be concluded that at one time in our evolutionary history that the environment was instead a reducing environment. Iron-sulfur clusters which contain high spin Fe(II) and Fe(III) tetracoordinated metals can help facilitate electron-transfer processes, nitrogen fixation, catalytic sites in hydrogenases, and oxidation of NADH t...
