S-adenosyl methionine is a molecule, found endogenously as a substrate synthesized by the sub-groups adenosine and methionine through an the enzyme methionine adenosyltransferase. The adenosine subcomponent is comprised of an adedine nucleobase bonded to a ribose chain. | S-adenosyl methionine is a molecule, found endogenously as a substrate synthesized by the sub-groups adenosine and methionine through an the enzyme methionine adenosyltransferase.
