“…[18] Instead, Robertson et al have proposed a more subtle, cooperative effect from the protein, [19] and, in support of this, we have recently published evidence that implicates a dynamic contribution from an active-site residue. [7] EAL exhibits three broad amide absorptions in the mid-IR spectrum (Figure 1 a, solid line) with the amide I band (1625-1675 cm À1 ) representing the most intense signal. AdoCbl also contributes to the signal in this region (Figure 1 a, dashed line), with a broad band centered around Scheme 1.…”
