B12 binding domain of glutamate mutase (Glm). Glutamate mutase catalysis the conversion of (S)-glutamate with (2S,3S)-3-methylaspartate. The rearrangement reaction is initiated by the extraction of a hydrogen from the protein-bound substrate by a 5'-desoxyadenosyl radical, which is generated by the homolytic cleavage of the organometallic bond of the cofactor B12. Glm is a heterotetrameric molecule consisting of two alpha and two epsilon polypeptide chains.
