An elegant engineering strategy to perform step-wise truncations of the iron-sulfur cluster domains in semi-synthetic [FeFe] hydrogenases to investigate in detail the influence on the catalytic properties of the enzyme and the inhibitors binding!

Very happy to see this out! Many thanks to @horch_lab, @JamesBirrell86 & Co for this cool collaboration! It is a pleasure to work with you guys!
Check out our latest work, published in @ChemicalScience! 2D-IR spectroscopy provides an entirely new view on [FeFe] hydrogenase: doi.org/10.1039/D5SC01811K

Thanks to @horch_lab and the rest of his awesome team, especially Cornelius Bernitzky and Yvonne Rippers. I also want to thank @_PatriRM for help with preparation of beautiful [FeFe] hydrogenase samples.

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.
