In enzymology a biotin synthase (EC 2.8.1.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactiondethiobiotin + sulfur + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine biotin + 2 L-methionine + 2 5′-deoxyadenosineThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are dethiobiotin sulfur and S-adenosyl-L-methionine whereas its 3 products are biotin L-methionine and 5′-deoxyadenosine.This radical SAM enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically the sulfurtransferases which transfer sulfur-containing groups.
