General Information Comment Organism
physiological function within L-methionine of natural origin, the S-methyl group is depleted in 13C by about 2% relative to the other positions in the molecule. Calculation predicts a strong normal 13C kinetic isotope effect (1.087) associated with methionine synthase. Depletion in 13C in the S-methyl of L-methionine during biosynthesis is an important factor contributing to the general depletion seen in many O-methyl and N-methyl groups of natural products synthetic construct
