Arsenite methyltransferase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arsenite methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.137, S-adenosyl-L-methionine:arsenic(III) methyltransferase, S-adenosyl-L-methionine:methylarsonite As-methyltransferase, methylarsonite methyltransferase) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:arsenite As-methyltransferase.[1][2][3][4][5] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- (1) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + arsenite S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + methylarsonate
- (2) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + methylarsonite S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + dimethylarsinate
