Lysine-linked viologen for substrate of hydrogenase on hydrogen evolution

Asakura N, Hiraishi T, Kamachi T, Okura I

Lysine-linked viologen was synthesized and was applied for hydrogen evolution with hydrogenase. The lysine-link-ed viologen has high affinity for hydrogenase than methyl viologen, resulting the high hydrogen evolution rate.
