Enzyme kinetics and EPR spectroscopy provide evidence that in the reversible rearrangement of ( S )‐glutamate ( 1 ) to (2 S , 3 S )‐3‐methylaspartate ( 2 ), which is catalyzed by the coenzyme B 12 dependent glutamate mutase from Clostridium cochlearium , the substrate 1 fragments into acrylate ( 3 ) and glycine radical ( 4 ), which recombine to 2 . Ado‐CH 2 ‐Cbl 5′‐adenosylcobalamin (coenzyme B 12 ).
