Accumulation of an unprecedented 5′-deoxyadenos-4′-yl radical unmasks the kinetics of the radical-mediated C-C bond formation step in MoaA catalysis
2020-01-17
Abstract excerpt
Radical S -adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) enzymes catalyze various free radical-mediated reactions. In these enzymes, the rate-determining SAM cleavage kinetically masks all the subsequent steps. Due to this kinetic masking, detailed mechanistic characterization of radical transformations catalyzed by these enzymes is very difficult. Here, we report a successful kinetic characterization of the radical C-C bond forma...
