Abstract

Ni‐free hydrogenases commonly exhibit a gav > 2 EPR spectrum in their most oxidised level. This spectrum has been linked with the active site and generally attributed to an oxidised HIPIP‐type, [4Fe‐4S]3+ cluster. We report the low temperature magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectrum of 2,6‐dichlorophenolindo‐phenol (DCPIP)‐oxidised Desulfovibrio vulgaris hydrogenase (DvH2ase), which exhibits an axial gav > 2 EPR spectrum. Paramagnetic MCD is observed, which however is shown to arise from an EPR‐silent, para‐magnetic species with S > . No evidence of paramagnetic MCD arising from the gav > 2 EPR‐detectable species is obtained. We conclude that: (1) DCPIP‐oxidised DvH2ase does not contain either a [4Fe‐4S]3+ or an oxidised 3Fe cluster; (ii) an EPR‐silent species with MCD characteristics somewhat similar to those of the oxidised ‘P’ clusters of the dye‐oxidized iron‐molybdenum protein of nitrogenase is present in DCPIP‐oxidised DvH2ase; (iii) the MCD and EPR of the gav > 2 species exhibit characteristics in common with those of the gav > 2 species produced by Fe(CN)6 3− oxidation of the [4Fe‐4S]2+ cluster of the 7Fe ferredoxin I of Azotobacter vinelandii [(7Fe)FdI). We suggest that the gav > 2 EPR signal of this and other hydrogenases arises from a species chemically analogous to that observed in (7Fe)FdI.
