Electronic and structural properties of Cob(I)alamin: Ramifications for B12-dependent processes

文摘
The MetH-bound CoI⋯H interaction is the first example of a low spin d8 metal ion-induced hydrogen bond inside any biological complex. The CASSCF/XMCQDPT2 calculations indicate that the presence of the axial base alters the contribution of the CoI(d8) configuration and the CoII(d7)-corrin radical(π∗)1 configuration to the CoICbl ground state wavefunction. The multiple electronic excitations seen in the α/β spectral region of vitamin B12 as well as MeCbl implies that the vibrational progression of a corrin π → π∗ band cannot be considered as a genuine spectroscopic signature in the photospectra of low-energy cobalamin. The CoI⋯H interaction tunes the reduction potential of the CoII/CoI process that may make it accessible inside methyltransferases.
