Hydrogenase (NAD+, ferredoxin) ( EC 1.12.1.4, bifurcating [FeFe] hydrogenase) is an enzyme with systematic name hydrogen:NAD+, ferredoxin oxidoreductase. [1] [2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

2 H2 + NAD+ + 2 oxidized ferredoxin 5 H+ + NADH + 2 reduced ferredoxin

The enzyme from Thermotoga maritima contains a [Fe-Fe] cluster (H-cluster) and iron-sulfur clusters. I
