Corrin

 

Corrin is a core motif found in vitamin B12. The beauty of the corrin ring is its highly asymmetric structure. The left side of the molecule lacks some double bonds, and it lacks one of the bridging carbons. The middle pearl represents cobalt, which is an essential metal found in vitamin B12. The name corrin derives from the fact it was found in the core of vitamin B12.
