title: Nucleosides and nucleotides. CXIX. Inhibition of DNA-cytosine methylase HhaI by a self-complementary oligonucleotide containing 5-fluorocytosine.
abstract: A self-complementary decadeoxyribonucleotide, 5'd(GAAGFGCTTC)3', containing 5-fluorocytosine (F) in substitution for cytosine at the methylation site of DNA-cytosine methylase HhaI (MHhaI) has been synthesized. MHhaI was inhibited by the pre-incubation of the enzyme with d(GAAGFGCTTC).
