Abstract
Even in the enzyme-bound state the dimethyl-benzimidazole ligand in the dioldehydratase from Salmonella typhimurium remains bound to the cobalt ion in contrast to some coenzyme B12- dependent enzymes. Direct, ESR spectroscopic proof for this 'base-on' binding mode was obtained by using a coenzyme in which one of the nitrogen atoms of the dimethylbenzimidazole ligand was 15N labeled.
