 Use of Formate dehydrogenase


Formate dehydrogenase is an enzyme ubiquitous in prokaryotes and eukaryotes that catalyzes the reversible oxidation of formate to carbon dioxide. According to its metal content, structure and catalytic strategy, Formate dehydrogenase can be divided into two categories, non-metallic and metal-containing, which are often used in biochemical research[1].
