Paramagnetic Intermediates Generated by Radical S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM) Enzymes

[Image: see text] A [4Fe–4S](+) cluster reduces a bound S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) molecule, cleaving it into methionine and a 5′-deoxyadenosyl radical (5′-dA(•)). This step initiates the varied chemistry catalyzed by each of the so-called radical SAM enzymes. The strongly oxidizing 5′-dA(•) is quen...
