This chapter reviews the literature on cobalamin- and corrinoid-containing enzymes. These enzymes fall into two broad classes, those using methylcobalamin or related methylcorrinoids as prosthetic groups and catalyzing methyl transfer reactions, and those using adenosylcobalamin as the prosthetic group and catalyzing the generation of substrate radicals that in turn undergo rearrangements and/or eliminations.
本章回顾了有关含钴胺素和类咕啉酶的文献。这些酶大致可分为两类,一类使用甲基钴胺素或相关甲基类咕啉作为辅基并催化甲基转移反应,另一类使用腺苷钴胺素作为辅基并催化底物自由基的生成,这些自由基继而发生重排和/或消除反应。
