Systematic name: L-lysine 2,3-aminomutase
Comments: This enzyme is a member of the ’AdoMet radical’ (radical SAM) family. It contains pyridoxal phosphate and a [4Fe-4S] cluster and binds an exchangeable S-adenosyl-L-methionine molecule. Activity in vitro requires a strong reductant such as dithionite and strictly anaerobic conditions. A 5′-deoxyadenosyl radical is generated during the reaction cycle by reductive cleavage of S-adenosyl-L-methionine, mediated by the iron-sulfur cluster. S-adenosyl-L-methionine is regenerated at the end of the reaction.
