CCACBWA Molecule of the Day

" The figure above shows the 2D Fisher structure of Sodasulphanecobalamin" The molecule "Soda Sulphanecobalamin" appears to be a complex derivative of cobalamin (vitamin B12). Here's a breakdown of its likely structure and significance: Core Structure: The base is cobalamin, which consists of a corrin ring (similar to porphyrin) with a central cobalt atom. Modifications: Sulpha-: This prefix suggests the presence of a sulfonamide group (–SO₂NH₂) or a sulfur-containing moiety attached to the cobalamin structure. Soda: Likely refers to sodium (Na⁺), indicating a sodium salt form (e.g., –SO₃Na or –COONa if carboxylate is present). Function/Context: Sodasulphanecobalamin derivatives are rare but might be synthetic analogs of vitamin B12, potentially studied for their: Stability in aqueous solutions (due to the sulfonate/sulfonamide group). Role in enzymatic reactions (cobalamin is a cofactor in methylation and isomerization). Credited by : Salako N. Olatunji, Isa Idayat Shalewa, Adeniji Fatimo
