摘要
A surprising mechanism: The enzymatic methylation of adenosine at C-2 consumes two molecules of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM +), one in the S N2 transfer of its methyl group to an active-site cysteine of the methyltransferase, and a second in the formation of a 5′-deoxyadenosine radical (5′-A .) that abstracts a hydrogen atom from the protein-bound methyl group enabling it to attack at C-2 of the adenosine (see scheme).
