Differential methylation kinetics of individual target site strands by T4Dam DNA methyltransferase

Prokaryote DNA methyltransferases (MTases) of the Dam family (including those of bacteriophages T2 and T4) catalyze methyl group transfer from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet), producing S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy) and methylated adenine residues in palindromic GATC sequences...
