Figure 1. The Ni-R reduced state of [NiFe]-hydrogenase.
a, X-ray structure of the DvMF [NiFe]-hydrogenase active site from PDB entry 1WUI62. The bridging ligand X is oxygenic for deactivated states, with catalytically active states having either a hydride or a vacant site. b–d, Some of the structures proposed for isoelectronic Ni-R forms19–26.
