Immobilization of hydrogenase in nylon gel containing electron mediator and application to an artificial photosystem.
Hydrogenase of Desulfovibrio vulgaris was immobilized in nylon gel containing an electron mediator. With the immobilization, the stability for storage and repeated use increased and the optimal pH was shifted to the acidic side. Photoinduced hydrogen production was observed in an artificial photosystem consisting of the hydrogenase gel, metal porphyrin, and mercaptethanol.
