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
Cobalt glass cobalt oxide together with quartz and potassium carbonate. The result was an intensive blue glass-like substance that was ground and sold to producers of glassware and porcelain. "Smalt", Bruno Mühlethaler and Jean Thissen, "Studies in Conservation", Vol. 14, No. 2 (May, 1969), pp. 47–61, JSTOR Cobalt glass Cobalt glass—known as "smalt" when ground as a pigment—is a deep blue colored glass prepared by including a cobalt compound, typically cobalt oxide or cobalt carbonate, in a glass melt. Cobalt is a very intense glass colorant and very little is required to show a noticeable amount of color. Cobalt blue glass is
