Reaction: 2 formate + NAD+ + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster = 2 CO2 + NADH + H+ + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster
Other name(s): electron-bifurcating formate dehydrogenase
Systematic name: formate:NAD+, ferredoxin oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme complex, isolated from the bacterium Gottschalkia acidurici, couples the reduction of NAD+ and the reduction of ferredoxin with formate via flavin-based electron bifurcation.
