This is the most current general review on the radical SAM superfamily, which discusses the biochemical activities and crystal structures for the radical SAM enzymes that have been characterized to date. This review presents the enzymes according to their reactivity with SAM, either as a cofactor or as a substrate.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105 (2008) 16137-16141. Providing the first structure of a radical SAM activase, this paper effectively demonstrates a structural basis for the direct and stereo-specific H-atom abstraction from PFL-AE's substrate, Gly734 of pyruvate formate-lyase.

This work focuses on the importance of shifting of the binding energies in the active site of LAM in the presence of AdoMet and substrate in order to lower the energy barrier necessary for reductive cleavage of AdoMet.
