Methionine gamma‐lyase: The unique reaction mechanism, physiological roles, and therapeutic applications against infectious diseases and cancers

26 Oct 2009

Abstract excerpt

Sulfur-containing amino acids (SAAs) are essential components in many biological processes and ubiquitously distributed to all organisms. Both biosynthetic and catabolic pathways of SAAs are heterogeneous among organisms and between developmental stages, and regulated by the environmental changes. Limited lineage of organisms ranging from archaea to plants, but not human, possess a unique enzyme methionine...
