5-Formylcytosine does not change the global structure of DNA

The mechanism by which 5-formylcytosine (fC) is recognised by enzymes involved in epigenetic modification and reading of DNA is not known, and recently an unusual DNA structure (F-DNA) was proposed as the basis for enzyme recognition of clusters of fC. We used NMR and X-ray crystallography to compar...
