Crystal structures with and without substrates bound show the active site closes

Co-C cleavage is 21 times faster with (CH3)MM-CoA than with
(CD3)MM-CoA. Therefore, Co-C and C-H cleavage are concerted.

Ribonucleotide Reductase
Converts ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides
Results are different from other coenzyme B12 enzymes:
• 0.01-0.1% of 3H from [3-3H]UTP is released
• no 3H from [3-3H]UTP found in adenosylcobalamin
• no crossover between [3-3H]UTP + ATP
• [3-3H]UTP gives [3-3H]dUTP
• 3H in [5-3H]adenosylcobalamin is washed out in the
absence of substrate
• adenosylcobalamin  5-deoxyadenosine + Co(II)
By EPR formation of Co(II) corresponds to formation
of 5-deoxyadenosine and the generation of a thiiyl radical
(Cys-408)

Transfers 3-pro-R H of L--Lys to 2-pro-R of L--Lys with
migration of 2-amino of L--Lys to C-3 of L--Lys
No exchange with solvent
With (S)-[5-3H]adenosylmethionine, 3H ends up in both L-Lys and L--Lys
One equivalent of Met and 5-deoxyadenosine are formed
with L--[3-3H]Lys. 1-6% of 3H ends up in SAM
C-S bond is stable, unlike C-Co bond
In the presence of a reducing agent, [4Fe-4S]+ is observed
in the EPR, which reduces SAM to Met and
5-deoxyadenosyl radical
It appears that SAM is functioning like coenzyme B12
