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
Element collecting Element collecting Element collecting is the hobby of collecting the chemical elements. Many element collectors simply enjoy finding peculiar uses of chemical elements. Others enjoy studying the properties of the elements, possibly engaging in amateur chemistry, and some simply collect elements for no practical reason. Some element collectors invest in elements, while some amateur chemists have amassed a large collection of elements—Oliver Sacks, for example. In recent years, the hobby has gained popularity with media attention brought by element collectors like Theodore Gray. Some collectors attempt to collect very high purity samples of each element. Others prefer to find the
