Bifurcating [FeFe] hydrogenase alpha subunit

UniProtKB accession:  O52683

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the oxidation of the physiological electron carriers NADH and reduced ferredoxin, coupled to the production of H(2) (PubMed:19411328). Acts as a bifurcating [FeFe] hydrogenase, which uses the exergonic oxidation of reduced ferredoxin to drive the unfavorable oxidation of NADH to produce H(2) (PubMed:19411328). The alpha subunit contains the catalytic H-cluster (PubMed:19411328).
