Rhodobacter capsulatus NAD+ dependent formate dehydrogenase (RcFDH) is a molybdoenzyme that catalyses the reversible oxidation of formate to carbon dioxide, and is of interest for biotechnological applications. Here the authors present the cryo-EM structures of RcFDH as isolated from R. capsulatus and in the reduced state with bound NADH, and discuss the enzyme mechanism.
