'Wiring Up' Enzymes For Producing Hydrogen In Fuel Cells

Scientists report a successful test of hydrogen fuel. They used enzymes to produce an electrical connection between a carbon nanotube and a hydrogenase. This could produce electrical fuel for the future. But, this is still being tested in order to work out some difficulties.

Enzymes
What reactions does this enzyme catalyze?a carbon nanotube and a hydrogenase
How is the cell affected if this enzyme is removed?doesn't work
List three things you learned from this article in your own words.there are difficulties, this could be used as fuel, they are still testing.
What impact would the absence of this molecule have on the cell?wouldn't work
