SAHO

Biological Activity

SAHO is a sulfoxide form of the methyl donor S-(5'-adenosyl)-L-methionine chloride and a substrate for radical SAM enzymes.1 It is reductively cleaved to S-adenosylhomocysteine , 5'-deoxyadenosine , and 5'-thioadenosine sulfenic acid by the radical SAM enzymes NosL or NosN.
