abstract:
9-[5?-deoxy-5?-(methylthio)-?-d-xylofuranosyl]-adenine, the first naturally occurring analog of methylthioadenosine (MTA), was isolated from the marine nudibranch mollusc Doris verrucosa. This finding provides indirect evidence for the existence in nature of analogs of S-adenosyl-l-methionine (AdoMet), the ubiquitous naturally-occurring biological methyl donor.
