Abstract excerpt
Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase is an adenosylcobalamin-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the 1,2 rearrangement of methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA. This reaction results in the interchange of a carbonyl-CoA group and a hydrogen atom on vicinal carbons. The crystal structure of the enzyme reveals the presence of an aromatic cluster of residues in the active site that includes His-244, Tyr-243, and Tyr-89 in the large...
