SAM forms S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) upon demethylation. About 120 members of the SDM family have been identified. They differ in their substrate specificity and the atom targeted for methylation (N, O, C, S)[1]. For Chemotaxis receptor methyltransferase CheR see details in Molecular Playground/CheR.[2].
