Abstract
Coenzyme F430 is a nickel porphinoid found in all methanogenic bacteria. Extended-X-ray-absorption-fine-structure (e.x.a.f.s.) spectra have been recorded above the nickel K-edge of coenzyme F430 and two model compounds, (5,10,15,20-tetramethylporphinato) nickel(II) and (5,10,15,20-tetramethylchlorinato)-nickel(II). The results show that the four nickel-nitrogen distances in F430 are split, with two nitrogen atoms at 0.192 nm and two at 0.210 nm.Entities:
