Resonance Raman Spectroscopy as a Tool to Monitor the Active Site of Hydrogenases

Resonance Raman Spectroscopy as a Tool to Monitor the Active Site of Hydrogenases: Thumbnail image of graphical abstract
Insights in active sites: Hydrogen-conversion by hydrogenase is mediated by a sophisticated, metal-containing catalytic center. Resonance Raman spectroscopy is used for the first time in the characterization of the active site of these biocatalysts. An integrated spectroscopic and computational approach gives insights into structural and photochemical properties of the active site of an oxygen-tolerant [NiFe] hydrogenase.
