Adenozil-chloride synthase

Adenosyl-chloride synthase (, chlorinase, 5'-chloro-5'-deoxyadenosine synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:chloride adenosyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * S-adenosyl-L-methionine + chloride $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 5-deoxy-5-chloroadenosine + L-methionine

This enzyme is isolated from the marine bacterium Salinispora tropica.
