5-Methylcytosine
is a methylated anatomy of the DNA abject cytosine that may be complex in the
adjustment of gene transcription. When cytosine is methylated, the DNA
maintains the aforementioned sequence, but the announcement of methylated genes
can be adapted (the extraction of this is allotment of the acreage of
epigenetics). 5-Methylcytosine is congenital in the nucleoside 5-methylcytidine.
In
5-methylcytosine, a methyl accumulation is absorbed to the 5th atom in the
6-atom ring (counting counterclockwise from the NH nitrogen at the six o'clock
position, not the 2 o'clock). This methyl accumulation distinguishes
5-methylcytosine from cytosine.
