Methionine: Functions
Methionine plays the role in metabolism as a supplier of methyl groups (CH3), which are required for essential biosyntheses. To perform this function, the essential amino acid must first be activated with ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The reaction steps of methionine activation are catalyzed by methionine adenosyl transferase. As a result of the cleavage of triphosphate, … Methionine: Functions
