H sub(2)-forming N super(5),N super(10)-methylenetetra-hydromethanopterin dehydrogenase is a novel hydrogenase found in most methanogenic archaea. It catalyzes the reversible conversion of N super(5),N super(10)-methylenetetra-hydromethanopterin (CH sub(2) = H sub(4)MPT) to N super(5),N super(10)-me...
