    Presence of Cobalt in the Anti-Pernicious Anæmia Factor

    INDEPENDENT investigation here and in the United States led to the recent isolation of the anti-pernicious anæmia factor as red needle-shaped crystals1–3. Examination of its ash has now unexpectedly revealed the ...

    Partial Synthesis of Vitamin B12 Coenzyme and Analogues

    THE structure of the vitamin B12 coenzyme1 has been determined recently by X-ray crystallography2. It seemed possible (cf. ref. 3) that a synthesis of this compound, which contains a 5′-deoxyadenosyl group attach...
