Popis: Comparison of the 25 degrees C Co-C bond homolysis rate constant of adenosyl-cobalamin (coenzyme B12) vs that for electrochemically reduced adenosyl-cobalamin radical anion indicates a rate enhancement of at least 10(12 +/- 2) upon the addition of one antibonding electron. Even though electrochemical reduction promotes Co-C homolysis by virtually the same amount as the 10(12 +/- 1) enzymic activation seen for adenosylcobalamin, electron-transfer activation of the Co-C homolysis in adenosylcobalamin-dependent enzyme reactions is considered unlikely, based on four lines of evidence.
