Co2+ can replace Mg2+ with lower relative activity Saccharolobus solfataricus
Co2+ can replace Mg2+ with a lower relative activity, S-adenosylmethionine synthetase B Saccharolobus solfataricus
Mg2+ maximal activation at 40 mM Saccharolobus solfataricus
Mg2+ S-adenosylmethionine synthetase A is absolutely dependent upon the presence of Mg2+, suggesting that a Mg-ATP complex functions as substrate. Maximal activity is obtained at an Mg2+ concentration of 40 mM with 10 mM ATP. 30% of the maximal reaction rate is observable at equimolar concentrations of ATP and Mg2+ (10 mM) Saccharolobus solfataricus
