T. Kamachi et al., PURIFICATION AND PROPERTIES OF INTACT HYDROGENASE FROM DESULFOVIBRIO-VULGARIS (MIYAZAKI), Journal of molecular catalysis. A, Chemical, 95(1), 1995, pp. 93-98
The intact hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris (Miyazaki) was puri
fied and characterized. The purified hydrogenase had a molecular weigh
t of 92.0 kDa, with two different subunits (Mw = 62.5 kDa and 29.5 kDa
). The molecular weight of the large subunit of the intact hydrogenase
was 2 kDa larger than the tryptic digested hydrogenase. The absorptio
n spectrum and the EPR spectrum of the intact hydrogenase were identic
al to those of tryptic digested hydrogenase. Phase separation study in
dicated the detergent solubilized hydrogenase was more hydrophobic tha
n tryptic digested hydrogenase.
