Coenzyme B induced coordination of coenzyme M via its thiol group to Ni(I) of F430 in active methyl-coenzyme M reductase.

Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) catalyzes the reaction of methyl-coenzyme M (CH3-S-CoM) with coenzyme B (HS-CoB) to methane and CoM-S-S-CoB. At the active site, it contains the nickel porphinoid F430, which has to be in the Ni(I) oxidation state for the enzyme to be active. How the substrates inte...
