title: Reactivity of [Fe] and [Ni-Fe-Se] hydrogenases with their oxido-reduction partner: the tetraheme cytochrome c3.
abstract: In order to understand the electron transfer mechanisms for the [Fe] and [Ni-Fe] hydrogenases, a kinetic study of cytochrome c3 reduction has been undertaken. Cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential amperometry techniques have been used to investigate the intermolecular electron-transfer reaction between cytochrome c3 and [Fe] hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough. Electron-transfer cross-reactions between [Fe] or [Ni-Fe-Se] hydrogenase and cytochrome c3 from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough or Desulfovibrio desulfuricans Norway have been studied. Some structural implications are considered from these experimental data.
