COMMENTARY
LITERATURE
ENZYME 3D STRUCTURE
preference for single stranded DNA substrates is increased up to 50fold by the presence of a proximal 5-methyl cytosine. This modulation is distance-dependent and is due to an enhanced binding affinity and minor changes in catalytic efficiency. No modulation of activity is observed with double stranded DNA
