S‑adenosylmethionine (abbreviated adoMet or SAM) is a methyl group donor in numerous metabolic pathways, including the metabolis

m of lipids and amino acids. Which of the following descriptions of S-adenosylmethionine are accurate?
A. The adenosyl group is linked to methionine via C4 and the β carbon of methionine.
B. The methyl group originally attached to the sulfur atom of methionine is transferred to an acceptor.
C. After ATP is cleaved, inorganic phosphate is added to C5 of the intermediate.
D. The transfer of the methyl group from adoMet to an acceptor yields S‑adenosylhomocysteine.

Answer: Option D.

The transfer of the methyl group from adomet to an acceptor yields s adenosylhomocysteine.

Explanation:

S- adenosine methionine is a co substrate and one of the naturally occurring sulfonium ions in the body. It is synthesized from methionine which is abundant in animal derived protein. It is metabolised in the liver where it is converted to S adenosine methionine by the enzyme methionine adenosyltransferase. It involve the transfer of methyl group. It is use in medicine as alternative aid to reduce depression.

4. What is meant by the fact that water is a "polar" molecule?
Ksju [112]

Hello!

A polar molecule is where one of the atoms in a molecule has a slight positive charge, and another has a slight negative charge, due to the unequal sharing of electrons.

Water is one of these molecules - the electrons spend more time around the oxygen atom in the center, and less around the hydrogens, so the hydrogen atoms have a slight positive charge, and the oxygen a slight negative.

Therefore, your answer is B, water has a slight negative and a slight positive charge at opposite poles.

Hope this helps!
