Oliveira, AR, Mota C, Romão MJ, Pereira IAC.  2022.  The W/SeCys-FdhAB formate dehydrogenase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough, 2022/06/10. Encyclopedia of Inorganic and Bioinorganic Chemistry. :1-12. Abstract

Abstract The W/SeCys-FdhAB formate dehydrogenase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough is a dimeric periplasmic enzyme that catalyzes the reversible oxidation of formate and reduction of CO2. It belongs to the group of metal-dependent FDHs, with a tungsten at the active site coordinated by two pyranopterin guanine dinucleotides, a selenocysteine, and one labile sulfur atom. FdhAB has a remarkably high activity and unusual tolerance to oxygen, making it an ideal model system to study biological CO2 reduction.
