Results are different from other coenzyme B12 enzymes:• 0.01-0.1% of 3H from [3-3H]UTP is released• no 3H from [3-3H]UTP found in adenosylcobalamin• no crossover between [3-3H]UTP + ATP• [3-3H]UTP gives [3-3H]dUTP• 3H in [5-3H]adenosylcobalamin is washed out in the absence of substrate• adenosylcobalamin 5-deoxyadenosine + Co(II)

By EPR formation of Co(II) corresponds to formation of 5-deoxyadenosine and the generation of a thiiyl radical (Cys-408)

It appears that SAM is functioning like coenzyme B12

In the presence of a reducing agent, [4Fe-4S]+ is observed in the EPR, which reduces SAM to Met and 5-deoxyadenosyl radical
