demonstration that cobg, the monooxygenase associated with the ring contraction process of the aerobic cobalamin (vitamin b12) biosynthetic pathway, contains an fe-s center and a mononuclear non-heme iron center. | the ring contraction process that occurs during cobalamin (vitamin b(12)) biosynthesis is mediated via the action of two enzymes, cobg and cobj. the first of these generates a tertiary alcohol at the c-20 position of precorrin-3a by functioning as a monooxygenase, a reaction that also forms a gamma lactone with the acetic acid side chain on ring a. the product, precorrin-3b, is then acted upon by cobj, which methylates at the c-17 position and promotes ring contraction of the macrocycle by catal ... | 2009 | 19068481 |
