  • Title: Adenosylmethionine as a source of 5'-deoxyadenosyl radicals.
    Author: Fontecave M, Mulliez E, Ollagnier-de-Choudens S.
    Journal: Curr Opin Chem Biol; 2001 Oct; 5(5):506-11. PubMed ID: 11578923.
    Abstract:
    The combination of an iron-sulfur cluster and S-adenosylmethionine provides a novel mechanism for the initiation of radical catalysis in an unanticipated variety of metabolic processes. Molecular details of the cluster-mediated reductive cleavage of S-adenosylmethionine to methionine and, presumably, a 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical are the targets of recent studies.
