Possible Involvement of Hydrosulfide in B12-Dependent Methyl Group Transfer

Possible Involvement of Hydrosulfide in B12-Dependent Methyl Group Transfer

Evidence from several fields of investigation lead to the hypothesis that the sulfur atom is involved in vitamin B12-dependent methyl group transfer. To compile the evidence, it is necessary to briefly review the following fields: methylation, the new field of sulfane sulfur/hydrogen sulfide (S°/H2S...
