crystal structure of the cytosine-5-methyltransferase EhMeth at a resolution of 2.15 A is presented in complex with its reaction product S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine. In contrast to the human DNMT2 structure, the active site loop (residues 80-100) of EhMeth is well defined and clearly forms an alpha-helix | Entamoeba histolytica |
