Corrinoid (vitamin B12-like) cofactors contain various alpha-axial ligands, including 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB) or adenine. The bacterium Salmonella enterica produces the corrin ring only under anaerobic conditions, but it can form "complete" corrinoids aerobically by importing an "incomplete" corrinoid, such as cobinamide

BluB is a distinct flavin destructase that catalyzes a complex oxygen-dependent conversion of reduced flavin mononucleotide (FMNH(2)) to form 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB), the lower ligand of vitamin B(12). The catalyzed mechanism remains a challenge due to the discrepancy between the complexity

Cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) forms very stable complexes with the alpha-axial 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (alpha-DMB) nucleotide base when dissociated from the Co(III) center in vitamin B(12) (CNCbl, K(CB[7]) = (7.5 +/- 0.5) x 10(4) dm(3) mol(-1)) and coenzyme B(12) (AdoCbl, K(CB[7]) = (3.02 +/-
