Computational Insights in DNA Methylation: Catalytic and Mechanistic Elucidations for Forming 3-Methyl Cytosine by Mansour H. Almatarneh, Ghada G. Kayed, Mohammednoor Altarawneh, Yuming Zhao, Amita Verma

“…The existence of 3 mC can cause severe damages to the DNA strand, such as blocking its replication, repair, and transcription, affecting its stability, and initiating a double-strand DNA break. To gain a deeper insight into the formation of 3 mC, we have performed density functional theory (DFT) modeling studies at different levels of theory to clearly map out the mechanistic details for this new methylation approach. …”
