Abstract
The naturally and widely occurring sulfonium compound, S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet), one of nature's most versatile molecules, is biosynthesized from methionine and ATP by AdoMet synthetase or methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) in a 2-step reaction in which the energy-rich sulfonium compound is formed by dephosphorylation of ATP. All living cells, with the only exception of some parasites and infectious agents, express MAT.Entities:
