S-Adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) is the central cofactor in the radical SAM enzyme superfamily, responsible for a vast number of transformations in primary and secondary metabolism. In nearly all of these reactions, the reductive cleavage of SAM is proposed to produce a reactive species, 5′-deoxyadenosyl radical, which initiates catalysis. While the mechanistic details in many cases are well-understood, the reductive cleavage of SAM remains elusive. In this manuscript, we have measured the solution peak potential of SAM to be ∼−1.4 V (v SHE) and show that under controlled potential conditions, it undergoes irreversible fragmentation to the 5′-deoxyadenosyl radical. While the radical intermediate is not directly observed, its presence as an initial intermediate is inferred by the formation of 8,5′-cycloadenosine and by H atom incorporation into 5′-deoxyadenosine from solvent exchangeable site. Similarly, 2-aminobutyrate is also observed under electrolysis conditions. The implications of these results in the context of the reductive cleavage of SAM by radical SAM enzymes are discussed.
