Summarize this article for a 10 year old
In enzymology, ferredoxin hydrogenase (EC 1.12.7.2), also referred to as [Fe-Fe] hydrogenase, H2 oxidizing hydrogenase, H2 producing hydrogenase, bidirectional hydrogenase, hydrogenase (ferredoxin), hydrogenlyase, and uptake hydrogenase, is found in Clostridium pasteurianum, Clostridium acetobutylicum, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and other organisms. The systematic name of this enzyme is hydrogen:ferredoxin oxidoreductase[1][2]
Ferredoxin hydrogenase belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on hydrogen as donor with an iron-sulfur protein as acceptor. Ferredoxin hydrogenase has an active metallocluster site referred to as an "H-cluster" or "H domain" that is involved in the inter-conversion of protons and electrons with hydrogen gas.
