Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance studies of cobalamins. 1984

G T Bratt, and H P Hogenkamp

The carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of aquocobalamin, adenosylcobalamin, methylcobalamin, and (carboxymethyl)cobalamin have been interpreted. The assignments were made by a comparison of the spectra with that of cyanocobalamin, by a study of the pH dependence of the chemical shifts, by an analysis of the effect of the axial ligands on the carbon atoms of the corrin ring, and by a study of the specific line broadening effect of the paramagnetic ions Mn2+ and Gd3+. The chemical shift changes that accompany the "base-on"----"base-off" conversion of the organocobalamins demonstrate that the conformation of the "western" half of the corrin ring and the conformations of the a, b, c, d, f, and g side chains are relatively constant. In contrast, the conformations of the "eastern" half of the corrin ring and the e propionamide side chain are highly variable.
