Abstract

Labelling experiments with 2H and 3H prove that as cobyrinic acid is biosynthesised by the anaerobic bacterium Propionibacterium shermanii, its H–19 is derived from HR(and not HS) at C-4 of a reduced nicotinamide cofactor, so demonstrating that the biosynthetic pathway involves a reduction step.
