Catalysis and Reactivity

Alivisatos and coworkers have synthesized hollow nanocrystals by a process analogous to the Kirkendal effect observed in the bulk [712]. In bulk matter, pores are formed in alloying or oxidation reactions due to large differences in the solid-state diffusion rates of the constituents. By reacting Co nanocrystals

Figure 2, Catalysis and reactivation of methionine synthase. Methionine for,motion occurs via two half reactions in which cobalamin serves as the intermediate methyl carrier. Reactivation is depicted in the right-hand portion of the diagram. An electron donor and AdoMet convert the inactive cob(II)alamin form of the enzyme to methylcob(III)alamin. In E. colU flavodoxin serves as the reductant for this priming reaction (7).
