STRUCTURE-BASED PERSPECTIVES ON B12-DEPENDENT ENZYMES

ML Ludwig, RG Matthews - Annual review of biochemistry, 1997 - annualreviews.org
Two X-ray structures of cobalamin (B12) bound to proteins have now been determined.
These structures reveal that the B12 cofactor undergoes a major conformational change on …

Structures of the human GTPase MMAA and vitamin B12-dependent methylmalonyl-CoA mutase and insight into their complex formation

DS Froese, G Kochan, JRC Muniz, X Wu… - Journal of biological …, 2010 - ASBMB
Vitamin B 12 (cobalamin, Cbl) is essential to the function of two human enzymes, methionine
synthase (MS) and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT). The conversion of dietary Cbl to its …

Deficiencies of folate and vitamin B6 exert distinct effects on homocysteine, serine, and methionine kinetics

GJ Cuskelly, PW Stacpoole… - American Journal …, 2001 - journals.physiology.org
Folate and vitamin B6 act in generating methyl groups for homocysteine remethylation, but
the kinetic effects of folate or vitamin B6 deficiency are not known. We used an intravenous …
