Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of [CH2CO2H-13C2]carboxymethylcobalamin; an acetic acid derivative with an unusually high pK value
Abstract
The pH dependence of the 13C chemical shifts of the 90% enriched carboxy, and methylene carbon atoms of [CH2CO2H-13C2]carboxymethyl cobalamin shows that the carboxymethyl unit has an unusually high pK value, 7·2.
