Structure and function relationship of formate dehydrogenases: an overview of recent progress [PDF]
IUCrJ, 2023 Formate dehydrogenases (FDHs) catalyze the two-electron oxidation of formate to carbon dioxide. FDHs can be divided into several groups depending on their subunit composition and active-site metal ions.

Selective selC-independent selenocysteine incorporation into formate dehydrogenases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The formate dehydrogenases (Fdh) Fdh-O, Fdh-N, and Fdh-H, are the only proteins in Escherichia coli that incorporate selenocysteine at a specific position by decoding a UGA codon.

Same but different: Comparison of two system-specific molecular chaperones for the maturation of formate dehydrogenases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The maturation of bacterial molybdoenzymes is a complex process leading to the insertion of the bulky bis-molybdopterin guanine dinucleotide (bis-MGD) cofactor into the apo-enzyme.

Mechanism of Action of Formate Dehydrogenases. [PDF]
J Am Chem SocThe molybdenum- and tungsten-containing formate dehydrogenases from a variety of microorganisms catalyze the reversible interconversion of formate and CO2; several, in fact, function as CO2 reductases in the reverse direction under physiological conditions.

How FocA facilitates fermentation and respiration of formate by Escherichia coli [PDF]
Journal of BacteriologyFormic acid is an important source of reductant and energy for many microorganisms. Formate is also produced as a fermentation product, e.g., by enterobacteria like Escherichia coli.
