We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Tungsten containing Formate Dehydrogenase from Desulfovibrio Gigas
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 12220497
Function
[FDHA_DESGI] Alpha chain of the formate dehydrogenase (FDH) catalyze the reversible two-electron oxidation of formate to carbon dioxide. FDH loses activity in the presence of air, but this activity can be restored. The alpha subunit of formate dehydrogenase forms the active site. [FDHB_DESGI] Beta chain of the formate dehydrogenase (FDH) catalyzes the reversible two-electron oxidation of formate to carbon dioxide. FDH loses activity in the presence of air, but this activity can be restored. This chain is an electron transfer unit.
