Conformational flexibility influences structure–function relationships in nucleic acid N-methyl demethylases

N-Methylation of DNA/RNA bases can be regulatory or damaging and is linked to diseases including cancer and genetic disorders. Bacterial AlkB and human FTO are DNA/RNA demethylases belonging to the Fe(II) and 2-oxoglutarate oxygenase superfamily. Modelling studies reveal conformational dynamics infl...
