Cobalt chelatase Cobalt chelatase Cobalt chelatase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction The 4 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, hydrogenobyrinic acid a,c-diamide, Co, and HO, whereas its 4 products are ADP, phosphate, cob(II)yrinic acid a,c-diamide, and H. The aerobic cobalt chelatase (aerobic cobalamin biosynthesis pathway) consists of three subunits, CobT, CobN () and CobS (). Cobalamin (vitamin B12) can be complexed with metal via the ATP-dependent reactions (aerobic pathway) (e.g., in "Pseudomonas denitrificans") or via ATP-independent reactions (anaerobic pathway) (e.g., in "Salmonella typhimurium"). The corresponding cobalt chelatases are not homologous. However, aerobic cobalt chelatase subunits CobN and CobS
Period 7 element Period 7 element A period 7 element is one of the chemical elements in the seventh row (or "period") of the periodic table of the chemical elements. The periodic table is laid out in rows to illustrate recurring (periodic) trends in the chemical behaviour of the elements as their atomic number increases: a new row is begun when chemical behaviour begins to repeat, meaning that elements with similar behaviour fall into the same vertical columns. The seventh period contains 32 elements, tied for the most with period 6, beginning with francium and ending with oganesson, the heaviest element currently discovered.
