Methylation is a widely occurring chemical modification in nucleic acids and proteins. Methylating agents, either extracellular or intracellular, can attack vulnerable sites in DNA …
AlkB and its human homologue AlkBH2 are Fe (II)-and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent oxygenases that repair alkylated DNA bases occurring as a consequence of reactions with …
Molecular dynamics simulations were employed to investigate the interaction between Fe (III) and an iron-binding site composed of THR259, ASP252, and GLU261 on the Fc domain …
DNA base repair mechanisms of alkylated DNA bases is an important reaction in chemical biology and particularly in the human body. It is typically catalyzed by an α-ketoglutarate …
TET proteins iteratively convert 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) in a Fe (II)/α-ketoglutarate …
N-Methylation of DNA/RNA bases can be regulatory or damaging and is linked to diseases including cancer and genetic disorders. Bacterial AlkB and human FTO are DNA/RNA …

Iron-dependent dioxygenases of the AlkB protein family found in most organisms throughout the tree of life play a major role in oxidative dealkylation processes. Many of these enzymes …
Iron and 2-oxoglutarate dependent (Fe/2OG) enzymes exhibit an exceedingly broad reaction repertoire. The most prevalent reactivity is hydroxylation, but many other reactivities …
