Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is among the largest known non-polymeric natural products, and the only vitamin synthesized exclusively by microorganisms. The biosynthesis of the lower ligand of vitamin B(12), 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB), is poorly understood. Recently, we discovered that a Sinorhizobium meliloti

The structure of nitrosylcobalamin (NOCbl) in solution has been studied by NMR spectroscopy and the 1H and 13C NMR spectra have been assigned. 13C and 31P NMR chemical shifts, the UV-vis spectrum of NOCbl and the observed pKbase-off value of

Immobilisation of vitamin B12 allows synthesising a biomimetic base-off/histidine-on complex that resembles structural features of cobalamin dependent enzyme active sites.
