additional information | minimum requirements for productive binding and formation of catalytically active enzyme-substrate complex must be a substrate that possesses a 3beta-hydroxy group, a planar nucleus, an intact side chain that retains the length of the native substrate zymosterol, a 20-R configuration and a delta24-double bond | Saccharomyces cerevisiae | ? | - |

Trypanosoma brucei | fecosterol + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine | - |
? | |
zymosterol + S-adenosyl-L-methionine | a bisubstrate reaction that proceeds by a sequential and noncovalent reaction whereby beta-face methyl addition to the DELTA24-bond and deprotonation of C-28 proceed to give rise to a nucleophilic rearrangement in which H-24 migrates to C-25 on the reface of the substrate double bond in concert with the initial ionization to afford the bound fecosterol | Saccharomyces cerevisiae | fecosterol + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine | - |
