S-Adenosyl-l-Methionine Salvage Impacts Psilocybin Formation in “Magic” Mushrooms

This research explains how magic mushrooms produce psilocybin through a recycling system for important cellular molecules called SAM. Scientists studied two key enzymes that help regenerate SAM efficiently, allowing mushrooms to make large amounts of psilocybin. Their findings show that when these two enzymes work together, they significantly boost psilocybin production, which could help improve methods to produce this compound for potential depression treatment.
