Carbon Monoxide Dehydrogenases

Methods Mol Biol. 2019:1876:37-54. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-8864-8_3.

Abstract

Carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (CODHs) catalyze the reversible oxidation of CO with water to CO2, two electrons, and two protons. Two classes of CODHs exist, having evolved from different scaffolds featuring active sites built from different transition metals. The basic properties of both classes are described in this overview chapter.

Keywords: CO2; Carbon monoxide dehydrogenase; Iron–sulfur clusters; Ni enzymes; cluster C.
