A directed evolution design of target specificity and kinetic analysis of conformational transitions in the HhaI methyltransferase
DNA cytosine-5 methyltransferases (MTases) recognize short DNA sequences and catalyze the transfer of the methyl group from the cofactor AdoMet to the C5-position of a target cytosine. In this work both these aspects of the MTase mechanism have been addressed. First, using rational protein design an...
