Coenzyme B is a coenzyme required for redox reactions in methanogens. The full chemical name of coenzyme B is 7-mercaptoheptanoylthreoninephosphate.^[1] The molecule contains a thiol, which is its principal site of reaction.

Coenzyme B reacts with 2-methylthioethanesulfonate (methyl-Coenzyme M, abbreviated CH
₃–S–CoM), to release methane in methanogenesis:^[2]

CH
₃–S–CoM + HS–CoB → CH
₄ + CoB–S–S–CoM

This conversion is catalyzed by the enzyme methyl coenzyme M reductase, which contains cofactor F430 as the prosthetic group.

A related conversion that utilizes both HS-CoB and HS-CoM is the reduction of fumarate to succinate, catalyzed by fumarate reductase:^[3]

HS–CoM + HS–CoB + ⁻O
₂CCH=CHCO⁻
₂ → ⁻O
₂CCH
₂–CH
₂CO⁻
₂ + CoB–S–S–CoM

Importance of Coenzyme B in Methanogenesis

Coenzyme B is an important component in the terminal step of methane biogenesis.^[4] It acts as a two electron-donor to reduce coenzyme M (methyl-coenzyme) into two molecules a methane and a heterodisulfide.^[5] Two separate experiment that were performed, one with coenzyme B and other without coenzyme B, indicated that using coenzyme B before the formation of the methane molecule, results in a more efficient and consistent bond cleavage.^[6]
