Identifying conformational changes with site-directed spin labeling reveals that the GTPase domain of HydF is a molecular switch

Abstract [FeFe]-hydrogenases catalyse the reduction of protons to hydrogen at a complex 2Fe[4Fe4S] center called H-cluster. The assembly of this active site is a multistep process involving three proteins, HydE, HydF and HydG. According to the current models, HydF has the key double role of scaffold...
