Both methylmalonyl coenzyme A mutase and MTR, an enzyme used in methionine synthesis, require compounds that contain this metal. A landmark study in coordination chemistry performed by Gibbs and Genth synthesized thirty-five complexes of ammonia and this element. An experiment involving the beta decay of one of this element's radioactive isotopes led Chien-Shiung Wu to first develop the idea of charge-parity violation. In addition, it is found in a compound whose deficiency can lead to pernicious anemia and which, along with folic acid, is used in DNA synthesis. For 10 points, name this transition metal found in vitamin B12 that is between iron and nickel on the peri

In addition, it is found in a compound whose deficiency can lead to pernicious anemia and which, along with folic acid, is used in DNA synthesis. For 10 points, name this transition metal found in vitamin B12 that is between iron and nickel on the periodic table, with chemical symbol Co.
