Members of this family are the archaeal protein Dph2, members of the universal archaeal protein family designated arCOG04112. The chemical function of this protein is analogous to the radical SAM family (pfam04055), although the sequence is not homologous. The chemistry involves [4Fe-4S]-aided formation of a 3-amino-3-carboxypropyl radical rather than the canonical 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical of the radical SAM family.
