Structure and Catalytic Mechanism of Radical SAM Methylases
Methyl transfer is essential in myriad biological pathways found across all domains of life. Unlike conventional methyltransferases that catalyze this reaction through nucleophilic substitution, many members of the radical <i>S</i>-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) enzyme superfamily use radic...
