Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation as an important epigenetic marker, has gained attention for the significance of three oxidative modifications (hydroxymethyl-C (hmC), formyl-C (fC), and carboxyl-C (caC)). Mutations occurring in the methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) of MeCP2 result in Rett. However, uncertainties persist regarding DNA modification and MBD mutation-induced interaction changes. Here, molecular dynamics simulations...
