Precorrin-2 C20-methyltransferase

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is S-adenosyl-L-methionine:precorrin-4 C20-methyltransferase and another names in common use is CobI. The enzyme is part of the biosynthetic pathway to cobalamin (vitamin B₁₂) in aerobic bacteria.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2E0K and 2E0N.
