Adenosylcobalamin-dependent enzymes catalyze a variety of chemically difficult isomerizations in which a nonacidic hydrogen on one carbon is interchanged with an electron-withdrawing group on an adjacent carbon. We describe a new isomerization, that of L-2-hydroxyglutarate to L-threo-3-methylmalate, involving the migration

Phototrophic CO(2) assimilation by the primitive, green eubacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus has been shown earlier to proceed in a cyclic mode via 3-hydroxypropionate, propionyl-CoA, succinyl-CoA, and malyl-CoA. The metabolic cycle could be closed by cleavage of malyl-CoA affording glyoxylate (the primary
