Hydrogenases couple electrochemical potential to the reversible chemical transformation of H-2 and protons, yet the reaction mechanism and composition of intermediates are not fully understood. In this Communication we describe the biophysical properties of a hydride-bound state (H-hyd) of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The catalytic H-cluster of [FeFe]-hydrogenase consists of a [4Fe-4S] subcluster ([4Fe-4S](H)) linked by a cysteine thiol to an azadithiolate-bridged 2Fe subcluster ([2Fe](H)) with CO and CN- ligands. Mossbauer analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that H-hyd consists of a reduced [4Fe-4S](H)(+) coupled to a diferrous [2Fe](H) with a terminally bound Fe-hydride. The existence of the Fe-hydride in H-hyd was demonstrated by an unusually low Mossbauer isomer shift of the distal Fe of the [2Fe](H) subcluster. A DFT model of H-hyd shows that the Fe-hydride is part of a H bonding network with the nearby bridging azadithiolate to facilitate fast proton exchange and catalytic turnover.
