Aquacobalamin binds hydrogen peroxide
reversibly to form a cobalt(III)
hydroperoxo adduct with a 0.25 mM dissociation constant, as evidenced
by UV–vis absorption spectroscopy and corroborated by NMR,
Raman spectroscopy, stopped-flow UV–vis measurements, and density
functional theory calculations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
