Mechanistic study on DNA mutation of the cytosine methylation reaction at C5 position

DNA methylation is a crucial epigenetic mark connected to conventionally changing the DNA bases, typically by adding methyl groups into DNA bases. Methylation of cytosine at the C5 position (5-methylcytosine) occurs mostly in the context of cytosine-phosphate-guanine dinucleotides, the methylation o...
