S-Adenosyl-L-methionine analogs

Kauss (39) has shown that the esterification of the carboxyl groups in the D-galacturonic acid chain takes place by a transfer of the methyl groups from S-adenosyl-L-methionine, analogous to the case in which the 4-methyl ether groups are transferred to D-glucuronic acid of hemi-cellulose (40).
