The Structure and Function of Component B of The Methylcoenzyme M Methylreductase System
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe structure and function of a novel cofactor required for in vitro methanogenesis by the methylcoenzyme M methylreductase system were investigated. When the methylreductase system was first fractionated using cell extracts from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum strain $\Delta$H, three fractions were found to be required. Two of these fractions, components A and C, were found to be protein components. The third, component B, was described as a low-molecular weight, heat-stable cofactor unique to methanogenic bacteria.
