Electrode Catalysis versus Enzyme Catalysis: Theoretical Modeling of a Biological Enzyme

References ..................................................................................................................................... 188

Biological enzymes naturally catalyze many important charge transfer and redox reactions that occur in the electrode surface. This is the case of [Ni-Fe] and [Fe-Fe] hydrogenases, which catalyze one of the simplest redox reactions in nature, the reversible two-electron oxidation of H2.
