Abstract

A vitamin that switches states: The appended nucleotide base B assists in the constitutional switch from the base-on form of the B12 conjugate (blue, with a coordinated 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB) unit) to the base-off form (red, with a free DMB unit). The process is strongly temperature dependent.
