In enzymology a methionine-tRNA ligase (EC 6.1.1.10) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + L-methionine + tRNAMet AMP + diphosphate + L-methionyl-tRNAMetThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP L-methionine and tRNA(Met) whereas its 3 products are AMP diphosphate and L-methionyl-tRNA(Met).This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases to be specific those forming carbon-oxygen bonds in aminoacyl-tRNA and related compounds.
