The inactivation reaction produces acetaldehyde, the hydrazine cation radical, 5&prime;-deoxyadenosine, and cob(II)alamin (B(12r)) in amounts stoichiometric with active sites. Rapid-mix freeze-quench EPR spectroscopy and stopped-flow rapid-scan spectrophotometry revealed that the hydrazine cation radical and B(12r) appeared at a rate of approximately 3 s(-)(1) at 21 degrees C. Analysis of 5&prime;-deoxyadenosine isolated from a reaction mixture prepared in (2)H(2)O did not contain deuterium-a result which demonstrates that solvent-exchangeable sites are not involved in the hydrogen-transfer processes. In contrast, all of the 5&prime;-deoxyadenosine, isolated from inactivation reactions with [1,1,2,2-(2)H(4)]HEH, had acquired at least one (2)H from the labeled inactivator. Significant fractions of the 5&prime;-deoxyadenosine acquired two and three deuteriums. These results indicate that hydrogen abstraction from HEH by a radical derived from the cofactor is reversible. The distribution of 5&prime;-deoxyadenosine with one, two, and three deuteriums incorporated and the absence of unlabeled 5&prime;-deoxyadenosine in the product are consistent with a model in which there is direct transfer of hydrogens between the inactivator and the 5&prime;-methyl of 5&prime;-deoxyadenosine. These results reinforce the concept that the 5&prime;-deoxyadenosyl radical is the species that abstracts hydrogen atoms from the substrate in EAL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOI: 10.1021\/bi9906219 Authors: Vahe Bandarian, Russell R.
