Investigating and engineering the substrate specificity of DNA methyltransferases
DNA methyltransferases catalyse the transfer of methyl groups from the cofactor <i>S</i>-adenosyl-L-methionine to a target base (adenine or cytosine) within a cognate recognition sequence. I have studied cofactor binding, DNA specificity and the role of conserved amino acid motifs in the...
