• The CO and CN stretching frequencies seem to be<br />

sensitive to the electronic effects of the thiolate<br />

substituent and protein backbone.<br />

These results can be used to understand CN and CO<br />

vibrational frequency changes upon protonation and<br />

hydrogen bonding interaction and upon conformational<br />

variations of in the hydrogenase active sites.<br />
