“…CN-Cbl is first reductively decyanated to cob(II)alamin (22,30,68). Next, cob(II)alamin is reduced to cob(I)alamin, and ATP:cob(I)alamin adenosyltransferase (ATR) transfers a 5Ј deoxyadenosyl group from ATP to cob(I)alamin to form AdoCbl (10,11,28,29,35,63,64,72). Studies indicate that prior to reduction cob(II)alamin binds the ATR and undergoes a transition to the 4-coordinate base-off conformer (41,48,59,61,62).…”
