In this proof of concept study we apply 2DIR to the O2 stable Hinact state of the [FeFe] H2ase from D. desulfuricans. 2DIR allows extraction of intra- and intermode anharmonicities. Combined with computations this provides exquisite insight into active site structure & dynamics.

Overall, 2DIR is a fantastic technique that extends the utility of IR spectroscopy applied to hydrogenases and other redox metalloenzymes. Not only can measurements be performed at ambient temperature, it is non-destructive, and high quality spectra are obtained in short time.
