297 Hydrogenase maturation endopeptidase
Abstract
This chapter elaborates the structural chemistry and the biological aspects of hydrogenase maturation endopeptidase. [NiFe]Hydrogenases consist of subunits of 30–35 kDa and of 60–65 kDa, depending on the organism. The large subunit carries the [NiFe]metallocenter, and it is synthesized in a precursor form and proteolytically processed to the form present in the mature enzyme. Hycl and HybD endopeptidases are monomeric proteins with molecular …
