Abstract
The hydrogenases of Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Megasphaera elsdenii are compared with respect to some of their physical properties. In addition to Fe the only metal ions that are present in significant amounts are Ni and Cu. From cluster extrusion experiments it follows that the D. vulgaris enzyme contains three 4 Fe‐4 S clusters, while M. elsdenii hydrogenase only releases part of its Fe‐S clusters. The resting D. vulgaris enzyme shows only a small 3 Fe‐xS type of EPR signal (maximum 5% electron equivalent). This amount can be increased to approximately 25% by treatment with ferricyanide, with a concomitant large decrease in activity. The M. elsdenii enzyme shows in its oxidized state a normal Hipip (high‐potential iron‐sulphur protein) type of EPR spectrum. After a reduction/oxidation cycle the D. vulgaris enzyme also shows a weak Hipip type of EPR spectrum. In the reduced state both enzymes show complex spectra. By integration of those spectra it is shown that 1.5 electron equivalents are present. The complex spectra do not arise from nuclear hyperfine interactions but are partially due to electron spin interactions. It is proposed that the spectrum of reduced D. vulgaris hydrogenase consists of a sum of three different ferredoxin‐like spectra.
