Mycinamicin III 3-O-methyltransferase| EC_number = 2.1.1.237| CAS_number =| GO_code = | image = | width = | caption = }}Mycinamicin III 3-O-methyltransferase (MycF) is an enzyme with systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:mycinamicin III 3-O-methyltransferase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + mycinamicin III

\rightleftharpoons

S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + mycinamicin IV

The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of mycinamicin macrolide antibiotics.
