SYSTEMATIC NAME
IUBMB Comments
O-acetyl-L-homoserine:methanethiol 3-amino-3-carboxypropyltransferase
Also reacts with other thiols and H2S, producing homocysteine or thioethers. The name methionine synthase is more commonly applied to EC 2.1.1.13, methionine synthase. The enzyme from baker's yeast also catalyses the reaction of EC 2.5.1.47 cysteine synthase, but more slowly.
