We have studied adenosine binding specificities of two bacterial DNA methyltransferase Taq methyltransferase (M.TaqI), and HhaI methyltransferase (M.HhaI). While these DNA methyltransferases have similar cofactor binding pocket interactions, experimental data showed different specificity for novel cofactors ((SNM) (S-guanosyl-L-methionine (SGM), S-cytidyl-L-methionine (SCM), S-uridyl-L-methionine (SUM)). Protein dynamics corroborate the experimental data on the cofactor specificities. For M.TaqI the specific...
