Figure 7.
Figure 7. Common structural arrangement for cobamide-dependent enzymes. (a). The cobalamin coordinates from the 1bmt structure were used to manually dock the cobalamin molecule into the TIM barrel cavity by avoiding van der Waals clashes, but minimizing N5 to Co distance. (b) Interactions between cobalamin and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase [59 and 60]. The figures were produced using QUANTA (Molecular Simulations Inc.).
