Versatility in Corrinoid Salvaging and Remodeling Pathways Supports Corrinoid-Dependent Metabolism in Dehalococcoides mccartyi [PDF]
ABSTRACTCorrinoids are cobalt-containing molecules that function as enzyme cofactors in a wide variety of organisms but are produced solely by a subset of prokaryotes. Specific corrinoids are identified by the structure of their axial ligands. The lower axial ligand of a corrinoid can be a benzimidazole, purine, or phenolic compound. Though it is known

Influence of corrinoid antagonists on methanogen metabolism [PDF]
Iodopropane inhibited cell growth and methane production when Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, Methanobacterium formicicum, and Methanosarcina barkeri were cultured on H2-CO2. Iodopropane (40 microM) inhibited methanogenesis (30%) and growth (80%) when M. barkeri was cultured mixotrophically on H2-CO2-methanol.

B12 and F430 models: Metal- versus ligand-centered redox in cobalt and nickel tetradehydrocorrin derivatives [PDF]
DFT calculations with the well-tested OLYP and B3LYP* exchange-correlation functionals (along with D3 dispersion corrections and all-electron ZORA STO-TZ2P basis sets) and careful use of group theory have led to significant insights into the question of ...

Naturally occurring cobalamin (B12) analogs can function as cofactors for human methylmalonyl-CoA mutase [PDF]
Cobalamin, commonly known as vitamin B12, is an essential micronutrient for humans because of its role as an enzyme cofactor. Cobalamin is one of over a dozen structurally related compounds - cobamides - that are found in certain foods and are produced ...
