Other name(s): β-lysine 5,6-aminomutase; β-lysine mutase; L-β-lysine 5,6-aminomutase; D-lysine 5,6-aminomutase; D-α-lysine mutase; adenosylcobalamin-dependent D-lysine 5,6-aminomutase
Systematic name: (3S)-3,6-diaminohexanoate 5,6-aminomutase
Comments: This enzyme is a member of the ‘AdoMet radical’ (radical SAM) family. It requires pyridoxal phosphate and adenosylcobalamin for activity. A 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical is generated during the reaction cycle by reductive cleavage of adenosylcobalamin, which is regenerated at the end of the reaction.
