Add article description

TRNA1Val (adenine37-N6)-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.223, YfiC) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tRNA1Val (adenine37-N6)-methyltransferase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + adenine37 in tRNA1Val S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N6-methyladenine37 in tRNA1Val
Quick Facts 37-N6)-methyltransferase, Identifiers ...

The enzyme specifically methylates adenine37 in tRNA1Val (anticodon cmo5UAC).
