  2. 6. Synthetic [FeFe] Hydrogenase Active Site Model Complexes

    Author : Lennart Schwartz; Sascha Ott; Marcetta Y. Darensbourg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hydrogenase mimic; proton reduction; bioinorganic chemistry; diiron hexacarbonyl complexes; artifical photosynthesis; hydrogen; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : [FeFe]-Hydrogenases (H2ases) are metalloenzymes that can catalyze the reversible reduction of protons to molecular hydrogen as part of the metabolism of certain cyanobacteria and green algae. Due to the low availability of the enzyme, synthetic complexes that mimic the natural active site in structure, function and activity are highly sought after. READ MORE

  4. 7. Stepping into Catalysis : Kinetic and Mechanistic Investigations of Photo- and Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Production with Natural and Synthetic Molecular Catalysts

    Author : Daniel Streich; Leif Hammarström; Reiner Lomoth; Clifford Kubiak; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Artificial photosynthesis; photocatalysis; electrocatalysis; hydrogen production; proton reduction; hydrogenase; iron complex; active site model; catalytic mechanism; transient absorption; spectroscopy; electrochemistry; cyclic voltammetry; Kemi med inriktning mot kemisk fysik; Chemistry with specialization in Chemical Physics;

    Abstract : In light of its rapidly growing energy demand, human society has an urgent need to become much more strongly reliant on renewable and sustainable energy carriers. Molecular hydrogen made from water with solar energy could provide an ideal case. READ MORE

  5. 8. Maturation and Regulation of Cyanobacterial Hydrogenases

    Author : Åsa Agervald; Peter Lindblad; Karin Stensjö; Ann Magnuson; Poul Erik Jensen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biohydrogen; Cyanobacteria; Nostoc sp. PCC 7120; Nostoc punctiforme PCC 73102; Hydrogenase; Maturation; Transcriptional regulation; CyAbrB; CalA; FeSOD;

    Abstract : Accelerated global warming plus an increasing need for energy is an equation not easily solved, thus new forms of sustainable energy production are urgently requested. In this context hydrogen production based on a cyanobacterial system offers an environmentally friendly alternative for energy capture and conversion. READ MORE

  6. 9. Biocatalysed redox reactions in aqueous and organic media

    Author : Mats Andersson; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; PLS; coenzyme regeneration; bioelectrocatalysis; hydrogenase; chloroperoxidase; HLADH; Proteus vulgaris; Alcaligenes eutrophus; artificial electron mediator; D- S _chlorolactic acid; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis deals mainly with biocatalysed methods for stereoselective reduction. D-(S)-chlorolactic acid was produced by both microbial and electromicrobial reduction of chloropyruvate using whole cells of Proteus vulgaris and an artificial electron mediator. The electron donor was formate, hydrogen gas or the cathode in an electrochemical cell. READ MORE

  7. 10. The Biodiversity of Hydrogenases in Frankia : Characterization, regulation and phylogeny

    Author : Melakeselam Leul Zerihun; Anita Sellstedt; Kornel Kovács; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biodiversity; Frankia; immunoblotting; gene expression; uptake hydrogenase; hydrogen-evolving hydrogenase; nickel; phylogeny; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : All the eighteen Frankia strains isolated from ten different actinorhizal host plants showed uptake hydrogenase activity. The activity of this enzyme is further increased by addition of nickel. Nickel also enhanced the degree of hydrogenase transfer into the membranes of Frankia, indicating the role of this metal in the processing of this enzyme. READ MORE
