Abstract
Effect of Hg(II) on the intact hydrogenase activity from Desulfouibrio vulgaris (Miyazaki) was studied kinetically. When the hydrogenase was incubated with Hg(II), the hydrogen evolution rate was strongly inhib ited. From the absorption spectra of the iron-sulfur cluster(s) and th e EPR spectra of [3Fe-4S] cluster and Ni center, reaction mechanism is discussed.
