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

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:

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