The formation of the reactive enzyme-substrate complex of formate dehydrogenase has been investigated by molecular dynamics techniques accounting for different conformational states of the enzyme. Simulations revealed that the transport of substrate to the active site through the substrate channel

Desulfovibrio spp. are sulfate-reducing organisms characterized by having multiple periplasmic hydrogenases and formate dehydrogenases (FDHs). In contrast to enzymes in most bacteria, these enzymes do not reduce directly the quinone pool, but transfer electrons to soluble cytochromes c. Several studies

Pyruvate was produced from glucose by Escherichia coli BW25113 that contained formate dehydrogenase (FDH) from Mycobacterium vaccae. In aerobic shake-flask culture (K (L) a = 4.9 min(-1)), the recombinant strain produced 6.7 g pyruvate l(-1) after 24 h with 4 g sodium formate l(-1) and a yield of

We propose a multiple alignment of the sequence of formate dehydrogenase with the D-specific 2-hydroxy acid dehydrogenases family. Structurally conserved regions are predicted for those sequences corresponding to important regions of the catalytic and the coenzyme binding domains defined from
