Methionine sulfoximine (MSO) is an irreversible glutamine synthetase inhibitor. It's the sulfoximine derivative of methionine with convulsant effects.[1]
Mechanism of action
MSO is phosphorylated by glutamine synthetase. The resulting product acts as a transition state analog that irreversibly binds to the glutamine synthetase, thereby inhibiting the enzyme.[2]
