Protein Family Models

This domain is found at the N-terminal of radical SAM proteins from bacteria and archaea. Proteins containing this domain are thought to catalyse diverse reactions, including methylations, isomerization, ring formation, anaerobic oxidation and protein radical formation [1, 2]. The function of this domain is unknown. [1]. 11222759.
