EC 1.17.1.11 Details
EC number
1.17.1.11
Accepted name
formate dehydrogenase (NAD+, ferredoxin)
Reaction
2 formate + NAD+ + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster = 2 CO2 + NADH + H+ + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster
Other name(s)
electron-bifurcating formate dehydrogenase
Systematic name
formate:NAD+, ferredoxin oxidoreductase
Comment
The enzyme complex, isolated from the bacterium Gottschalkia acidurici, couples the reduction of NAD+ and the reduction of ferredoxin with formate via flavin-based electron bifurcation.
History
created 2015 as EC 1.2.1.93, transferred 2017 to EC 1.17.1.11
