uptake hydrogenase

isolated from heterocysts of aerobically grown Anabaena filaments; also from Rhodobacter capsulatus; belongs to the class of NiFe hydrogenases; allows the cell to grow autographically with H(2) as the electron source; isolated as a heterodimer comprising a small and large subunit; has been sequenced
