Figure 11.4 Mechanism for methylmalonyl CoA mutase.<br />

Figure 11.5 Structure of methylmalonyl CoA mutase (PDB Wle 4REQ), showing the vitamin B 12<br />

cofac<strong>to</strong>r in red, <strong>and</strong> bound methylmalonyl CoA in black. The adenosyl lig<strong>and</strong> can be seen above the<br />

porphyrin ring of the cofac<strong>to</strong>r. The protein structure is shown in str<strong>and</strong>s, since the active site is<br />

buried in the centre of the structure.
