NAD+ enhances the activity and thermostability of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase from Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3.

S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) are important biochemical intermediates. SAM is the major methyl donor for diverse methylation reactions in vivo. The SAM to SAH ratio serves as a marker of methylation capacity.
