S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is a riboswitch, which are structured noncoding RNA domains that selectively bind metabolites and control gene expression. Nearly all examples of the known riboswitches reside in noncoding regions of messenger RNAs where they control transcription or translation.<ref name="ref1">PMID:16810258</ref> | S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is a riboswitch, which are structured noncoding RNA domains that selectively bind metabolites and control gene expression.
