Metal complex acts like enzyme

Ni-Ru complex mirrors a hydrogenase's active site and is catalytically active

Hydrogenases are bacterial enzymes that serve as models for developing new catalysts that one day could be the workhorses for producing hydrogen as a fuel or for hydrogenating carbon dioxide into hydrocarbons.
