Darstellung und Eigenschaften von Vanadyl(IV)-Saccharinat

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of a vanadyl(IV)/saccharin complex is reported, which differs considerably from all known divalent metal-saccharinates and its bonding characteristics.

The reaction of dimethyltin(IV) dichloride with thiamine diphosphate (H2TDP): synthesis and structure of [SnMe2(HTDP)(H2O)]Cl.H2O, and possibility of a hitherto unsuspected role of the metal cofactor in the mechanism of vitamin-B1-dependent enzymes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the role of divalent cations in the mechanism of thiamine-diphosphates-dependent enzymes may be not only to anchor the cofactor in its binding site but also to shift the acidic proton of HTDP(-) from the diphosphate group to N(1'); protonation of N( 1') is widely believed to be important for enzyme function, but the origin of the proton has never been clarified.

The biochemistry of vanadium

TL;DR: There is ample evidence that vanadium in the body exists primarily as the vanadyl(IV) ion, VO2+, complexed to proteins and other cellular components; several biological reducing agents can convert vanadium(V) to this form.

The New Biochemistry of Vanadium

TL;DR: In the V(V) oxidation state, as diamagnetic vanadate, it mimics phosphate and interacts with a large class of phosphatases and phosphotransferases as discussed by the authors.
