Confirm structure representation and name

Please check out the page on this compound in http://www.chemspider.com/docs/wikipedia/Wikpiedia_Review_project_011208.pdf (page 40 I believe).

If it's the right structure then:

The SMILES string is: [Ni].O=C(O)CC[C@@H]1C\6=N/[C@]2(NC(=O)C[C@@]12C)C[C@@H]3/N=C (\[C@](CC(=O)N)(C)[C@@H]3CCC(=O)O)C[C@H]5/N=C4/C(C(=O)CC[C@H ]4[C@@H]5CC(=O)O)=C7\[N-]/C(=C/6)[C@@H](CC(=O)O)[C@@H]7CCC(=O)O

From http://www.chemspider.com/Chemical-Structure.4573710.html I find: 73145-13-8 (can someone check the CAS number) Coenzyme F430 factor 430 Factor F430 --ChemSpiderMan (talk) 04:11, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I will check the CAS# later. The SMILES-generated structure at http://www.chemspider.com/docs/wikipedia/Wikpiedia_Review_project_011208.pdf is okay except that the stereochemistry of two peripheral C-H bonds is left ambiguous.--Smokefoot (talk) 14:04, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Chabge name

Hello. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to name the article Cofactor F430? --kupirijo (talk) 17:56, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Good idea. --Smokefoot (talk) 19:58, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Done.--Smokefoot (talk) 12:46, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

"Most reduced tetrapyrrole"

Hello, this article claims that F430 is the most reduced tetrapyrrole with 5 double bonds, but cobalamin clearly has 6, making this statement inaccurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FlavorFMN (talk • contribs) 20:59, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

To avoid any further confusion I've rewritten it to "Of the tetrapyrroles with 5 double bonds, F₄₃₀ is the most reduced".Songleaves (talk) 03:39, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Mechanism and Corphin Structure

I will be adding new content on the mechanism with supporting references. Also, the corphin ligand is a derivative of the corphin system but is more commonly called a porphinoid. Therefore I will be editing out the sentence: "This particular tetrapyrrole derivative is called a corphin." and providing a reference and explanation for this as well as changing the heading --S.Thomas111 (talk) 20:44, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
