J Am Chem Soc 1996, 118:8192-8197. The electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum arising from freeze-quench experiments with adenosylcobalamin-dependent ribonucleotide reductase is quantitatively analyzed. The spectrum is satisfactorily simulated assuming a thiyl radical is coupled to cob(II)alamin by dipolar interactions and electron-electron exchange. Other radical coupling models did not allow the spectrum to be satisfactorily simulated.

44. 12-dependent methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. J Am Chem Soc 1997, 119:3057-3067. The paper reports that 1-methylimidazole as the lower axial ligand for adenosylcobinamide accelerates the thermal homolysis of the Co-C5′ bond relative to dimethylbenzimidazole. This pertains to the finding by Mancia et al. (1996) (45••) in the structure of methylmalonyl Coenzyme A mutase that the dimethylbenzimidazole of adenosylcobalamin is displaced by the imidazole ring of histidine.

Structure 1996, 4:339-350. The three dimensional structure of methylmalonyl Coenzyme A (CoA) mutase with cob(II)alamin bound to the active site is reported. Major conformational changes accompany the binding of methylmalonyl CoA to this enzyme. In the enzyme substrate complex, the methylmalonyl group is very deeply buried and protected from the solvent.

Whether the rotational barrier in a homogeneous medium applies to the active site of MMO is open to question. A higher barrier, owing to the effect of a local magnetic field at the active site, would invalidate the calculated rebound rate constants and compel the adoption of lower values.

J Am Chem Soc 1996, 118:939-947. For use in studies of the reaction of (2,3-dihydroxyphenyl)propionate 1,2-dioxygenase, cis- and trans-2-(2,3dihydroxyphenyl)cyclopropane-1-carboxylate were synthesized. Cis-trans isomerizalion of the cyclopropyl rings in these substrates was observed, but no ring-opened products were detected. It was concluded that the radical intermediate underwent cyclopropyl ring opening and reclosing, without trapping of the homoallylic radicals.
