I couldn't be happier to see this nice piece of work out! It is like my baby project, which I dedicated a lot of time and effort!

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!

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.
