Decreased cobalamin sensitivity and biological aging acceleration in the general population

open access: yesThe Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging
Background: The evidence on the association between cobalamin (Cbl) and aging or relevant outcomes is limited and controversial. We aimed to investigate the relationships between cobalamin intake- and function-related biomarkers and biological aging ...

Effectiveness of the National Program of Complementary Feeding for older adults in Chile on vitamin B12 status in older adults; secondary outcome analysis from the CENEX Study (ISRCTN48153354). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BACKGROUND: Older people are at increased risk of vitamin B12 deficiency and the provision of fortified foods may be an effective way to ensure good vitamin B12 status in later life.

Homocysteine: Canary in the Coal Mine or Hidden Threat? A Biochemical Study on the Role of Plasma Thiols

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 13, 15 July 2025.
The figure illustrates how high plasma glutathione levels can promote the dethiolation of homocysteinylated proteins, leading to the release of homocysteine. The freed homocysteine is then either excreted through the kidneys or further processed via cellular metabolism, supporting homocysteine clearance and metabolic balance.

Selective cobalamin malabsorption and the cobalamin-intrinsic factor receptor.

open access: yesActa Biochimica Polonica, 1997
The disease is characterised by cobalamin (Cbl) deficiency in children 0-5 years old, causing failure to thrive, infections, megaloblastic anaemia, neuropathy, and mild general malabsorption; slight proteinuria is common. Cbl injections produce remission, but Cbl malabsorption and proteinuria persist. About 250 cases have been reported.

A cobalt concentration sensitive Btu-like system facilitates cobalamin uptake in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120

open access: yesMicrobial Cell
Metal homeostasis is central to all forms of life, as metals are es-sential micronutrients with toxic effects at elevated levels. Macromolecular machines facilitate metal uptake into the cells and their intracellular level is regulated by multiple means,

Microbial metabolism: optimal control of uptake versus synthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Microbes require several complex organic molecules for growth. A species may obtain a required factor by taking up molecules released by other species or by synthesizing the molecule.

Two Key Ferredoxins for Nitrogen Fixation Have Different Specificities and Biophysical Properties

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, Volume 31, Issue 37, July 2, 2025.
Two ferredoxins, FdC and FdN, are collectively essential for the process of nitrogen fixation by the iron nitrogenase in R. capsulatus. We explore the biophysical factors, through spectroscopic and structural characterizations, which determine ferredoxin functionality and pathway specificity. The structure of FdC (PDB: 9I2A) and model of FdN (AF‐D5ARY6)

Investigating the origins of B12 biosynthesis in the most ancient roots of the tree of life [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Vitamin B12, also known as B12 or cobalamin, is a vital nutrient required across all branches of life, but the ability to synthesize this complex molecule de novo is limited to only a few archaea and bacteria.

Mechanism of Cobalamin-Mediated Reductive Dehalogenation of Chloroethylenes

open access: yes, 2017
Reductive dehalogenation involving cobalamin has been proved to be a promising strategy for decontamination of the polluted environment. However, cob(I)alamin can act both as a strong reductant and a powerful nucleophile, and thus, several competing ...
