Abstract
conductive support) to the site of a reduction reaction, and we note how this parallels developments in site-separated reactivity in heterogeneous catalysis. We discuss the productivities achieved with biocatalytic hydrogenations, the scope for application of these approaches in industrial biotechnology, possibilities for scaling the production of hydrogenases, and future opportunities. Our focus is on NiFe hydrogenases, but we discuss briefly how FeFe hydrogenases might contribute to this field.
