Professor Cook's team have established that Mycobacterium smegmatis metabolises molecular hydrogen using three enzymes
called hydrogenases.
So they genetically engineered Xanthobacter, giving them an enzyme
called a hydrogenase, which allows them to feed on H2 to make a form of cellular energy called ATP.
Methods: The team at PNNL has been developing a nickel - based catalyst modeled on an enzyme from nature
called a hydrogenase for several years.
Not exact matches
These
hydrogenases are activated under oxygen starvation by a master regulator
called DosR.
«The
hydrogenase moves the protons around in what we
call a proton relay.
