Description
Formate Dehydrogenases are a set of enzymes that catalyse the oxidation of formate to carbon dioxide, donating the electrons to a second substrate, such as NAD + in formate:NAD + oxidoreductase (EC 1. 2. 1. 2) or to a cytochrome in formate:ferricytochrome-b1 oxidoreductase (EC 1. 2. 2. 1). This product with the indicated enzyme activity was briefly purified from engineered E. coli
