How to Tell an N from an O: Controlling the Chemoselectivity of Methyltransferases

{{output}}
S-Adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM)-dependent methyltransferases (MTs) are important enzymes in numerous biological pathways. They share a common S N 2 mechanism but act on different nucleophilic substrates in vivo. Therefore, MTs have a specific chemoselectivity to... ...
