The year of this writing, 2004, marks the 70th anniversary of the Noble Prize shared by
Whipple, Minot, and Murphy for their discovery that raw liver contained a substance, the “anti …

The inorganic chemistry of the cobalt corrinoids, derivatives of vitamin B 12, is reviewed, with
particular emphasis on equilibrium constants for, and kinetics of, their axial ligand …

Currently the Protein Data Bank (PDB) contains over 25 000 structures that contain a metal
ion including Na, Mg, K, Ca, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pd, Ag, Cd, Ir, Pt, Au, and Hg. In …

We report a bottom‐up approach for the fabrication of metallo‐porphyrin compounds and
nanoarchitectures in two dimensions. Scanning tunneling microscopy and tunneling …

A general chiroptical protocol for determination of absolute configuration of secondary
amines including acyclic and cyclic aliphatic amines, aromatic amines, amino acids, and …

We have critically examined and compared various ways to obtain standard harmonic
molecular mechanics (MM) force-field parameters for metal sites in proteins, using the 12 …

We present a combined multimethod experimental and theoretical study of the geometric
and electronic properties of Co-tetraphenyl-porphyrin (Co-TPP) molecules adsorbed on a …

The B12 cofactors methylcobalamin (MeCbl) and 5 '-deoxyadenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl)
have long fascinated chemists because of their complex structures and unusual reactivities …

Chiral bis-porphyrins are currently the subject of intense interest as chiral receptors and as
probes in the determination of structure and stereochemistry. To provide an improved …

Importance of the field: Vitamin B12 (B12) is a rare and vital micronutrient for which
mammals have developed a complex and highly efficient dietary uptake system. This uptake …
