Popis: | MoaA, a radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) enzyme, catalyzes the first step in molybdopterin biosynthesis. This reaction involves a complex rearrangement in which C8 of guanosine triphosphtate is inserted between the C2′ and the C3′ carbons of the ribose. This study identifies the site of initial hydrogen atom abstraction by the adenosyl radical and advances a mechanistic proposal for this unprecedented reaction. |
