Methyltransferase complexed with DNA,molecular model. The strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid,green and yellow) is enclosed by DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT-1,purple and pink). This enzyme acts to add methyl groups to the DNA,a process called DNA methylation,which can silence and regulate genes without changing the genetic sequence. DNA methylation is also being studied in relation to cancer | |
