New findings are expected to help protect the hydrogen-producing enzymes from harmful oxygen – which is interesting for biotechnological applications.

Congratulations to Dr. Julian Esselborn, Dr. Leonie Kertess and coworkers on their publication in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, JACS, on "Loss of Specific Active-Site Iron Atoms in Oxygen-Exposed [FeFe]-Hydrogenase Determined by Detailed X-ray Structure Analyses".
