'''S-Adenosyl methionine''' ('''SAMe''', '''Ademethionine''') is a methyl donating compound that circulates in the blood and provides methyl groups to maintain metabolic reactions.<ref>Homocysteine. | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10762063</ref> SAMe is an amino acid methionine bound to an ATP molecule; this molecule circulates in the blood naturally and acts as a 'methyl donor'. A methyl group in chemistry is simply a carbon molecule (bound to some hydrogens), and donating a methyl group to other molecules can accelerate or preserve reactions in the body as a form of metabolic 'maintenance'. | '''S-Adenosyl methionine''' ('''SAMe''', '''Ademethionine''') is a methyl donating compound that circulates in the blood and provides methyl groups to maintain metabolic reactions.<ref>Homocysteine. | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10762063</ref> SAMe is an amino acid methionine bound to an ATP molecule; this molecule circulates in the blood naturally and acts as a 'methyl donor'.
