Since inhibitions by different monovalent cations are additive, sodium and potassium ion transport through organelle membranes and subsequent accumulation at the site of methyl transferase activity have been shown to inhibit SAM activity (BAILEY et al. 1974). Competitive inhibitors of SAM have been identified. At concentrations of 10 mM, S-adenosyl homocysteine (SAH; XXV) inhibits sterol ~24-transmethylation (MCCAMMON et al. 1984). In an attempt to extend this to selective inhibitors of fungal ~24-transmethylation, derivatives of SAH were produced which allowed the key structural features for inhibitory activity to be identified.
