title: Methylcorrinoids Methylate Radicals-Their Second Biological Mode of Action?
abstract: An unprecedented methylation of alkyl radicals is possible with the diamagnetic vitamin B(12) derivative methylcobalamin (see schematic representation). Methylcorrinoids can thus also be considered as methylating cofactors in radical C-methylations.
