Application


  • Hydroxocobalamin chloride in photochemistry studies: Research conducted on the photochemical properties of cob(III)alamins, including Hydroxocobalamin chloride, explores their energy cascades and excited state dynamics. This study highlights the application of Hydroxocobalamin as a model compound in understanding the photochemical behavior of vitamin B12 analogs, which is crucial for developing new therapeutic strategies and enhancing our understanding of cobalamin-dependent enzymatic reactions (Rury et al., 2015).
