Abstract excerpt
The functional role of enzymatic DNA methylation in eukaryotes is still obscure even 45 years after its discovery. In the present paper the analysis of various aspects of DNA methylation has been made from the point of view of a common functional model considering the system as a generator of 5mC-->T mutations in the cell. The mechanism and consequences of the reactions have been described in detail, from the 5mC...
