In enzymology, a hydrogen dehydrogenase (NADP+) (EC 1.12.1.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- H2 + NADP+ H+ + NADPH
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are H2 and NADP+, whereas its two products are H+ and NADPH.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on hydrogen as donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is hydrogen:NADP+ oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include NADP+-linked hydrogenase, NADP+-reducing hydrogenase, hydrogen dehydrogenase (NADP+), and simply hydrogenase (which is ambiguous).
Structural studies
[edit]As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 2AUV.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
