- 요약Coenzyme B12, or adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl), plays a central role in a range of biochemical transformations that often involve radical-based or organometallic reaction pathways. The research outlined in this thesis integrated spectroscopic and computational approaches to investigate the structure, reactivity, and electronic properties of AdoCbl and its biologically relevant derivatives in three distinct, but thematically related contexts. The first project focused on AdoCbl as a cofactor in the bacterial enzyme ethanolamine ammonia-lyase (EAL). Using electronic absorption (Abs) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we examined the EAL ternary (AdoCbl/EAL/substrate) complex to probe Co-C bond weakening. Our results support a model in which substrate binding induces a change in the active site H-bonding network that lowers the Co-C bond dissociation energy, thereby priming AdoCbl for homolytic cleavage. The second project was aimed at characterizing the spectral properties of halocobalamins (XCbls), a series in which halide ions (X = F, Cl, Br, I) serve as upper axial ligands of Co3+Cbl. Experimental Abs and CD spectra were recorded and analyzed in the framework of time-dependent DFT calculations. Clear trends in the electronic transitions and across the halide series were observed, revealing systematic shifts attributable to halide identity and Co-X bond length. These findings enhance our understanding of axial ligand effects on corrinoid geometric and electronic structures. In the third study, we investigated the behavior of the AdoCbl-precursor aquacobalamin (H2OCbl+) under reducing, acidic conditions. Reduction of H2OCbl+ in the presence of acid leads to the evolution of hydrogen gas. While a cobalt-hydride intermediate was initially hypothesized, Abs and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic studies revealed that the major steady-state product more closely resembles a Co1+Cbl species rather than a Co3+-hydride. This unexpected outcome challenges previous mechanistic assumptions and provides new insights into cobalamin redox chemistry in acidic environments. Together, these studies offer a multifaceted view of coenzyme B12 chemistry and biochemistry, spanning enzyme catalysis, molecular catalysis for H2(g) production, and spectroscopic changes resulting from halide coordination.
