SAM
The Ledger of a Single Methyl Group: How NNMT Rewrites Cellular Methylation Capacity
Picture the NNMT reaction as an accounting exercise: SAM is the wallet, SAH the IOU, and histone methylation is where the money is spent. This article walks through the bookkeeping and reconciliation of this methyl ledger in four steps.
