| One of the main bolts limiting the development of the production of hydrogen of biological origin lies in the oxygen sensibility of hydrogenases. This project, aims at determining what are the molecular bases oxygen sensibility of the [ NiFe] hydrogenases, to build recombinant hydrogenases rwhich could work in the presence of oxygen. The realization of this project, since the modelling of the recombinant enzymes, their realization and their production, up to their biochemical, kinetic, spectroscopic and crystallographic characterization will offer a wide range of applications, in particular the development of a successful biological system which allows the production of hydrogen by photosynthetic borganisms, allowing to couple the water photolyse with the hydrogen production. |
