Direct observation of cytosine flipping and covalent catalysis in a DNA methyltransferase

Methylation of the five position of cytosine in DNA plays important roles in epigenetic regulation in diverse organisms including humans. The transfer of methyl groups from the cofactor S-adenosyl-l-methionine is carried out by methyltransferase enzymes. Using the paradigm bacterial methyltransferas...
