Abstract excerpt
Because S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) are the substrate and product of essential methyltransferase reactions; the ratio of SAM:SAH is frequently used as an indicator of cellular methylation potential. However, it is not clear from the ratio whether substrate insufficiency, product inhibition or both are required to negatively affect cellular methylation capacity. A combined genetic...
