Abstract excerpt
Methionine synthase catalyzes a methyl transfer reaction from methyltetrahydrofolate to homocysteine to form methionine and tetrahydrofolate and is dependent on methylcobalamin, a derivative of vitamin B12, for activity. Due to the lability of the intermediate, cob(I)alamin, the activity of methionine synthase is additionally dependent on a redox activation system. In bacteria, two flavoproteins, NADPH-flavodoxin...
