The Isolation of the Vitamin B12 Coenzyme and the Role of the Vitamin in Methionine Synthesis
Year: 2008
Type: review
Abstract: The invitation to contribute a “Reflections” article has brought back many memories as I recall the events early in my career that were most significant in determining the path I have taken for more than 50 years. I could reflect on several periods in my career, such as the early work on serotonin biosynthesis and metabolism or later studies on the role of GTP and elongation factors in protein synthesis, but the period when I worked on vitamin B12 in the late 1950s and early 1960s especially stands out in my mind, and I will focus mainly on these studies.
