Identification
Name: N-Acetyl-L-methionine
Description:N-Acetyl-L-methionine is an acylated methionine derivative. The N-terminal methionine is often released from peptides and proteins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa via methionine aminopeptidase. The free methionine can be acetylated by the enzyme YncA or N acyltransferase in a reaction using a CoA thioester as cofactor.
