研究领域
Organische Chemie
The current research interest of Professor Elmar Weinhold and his coworkers is in the field of bioorganic chemistry. The research is focussed on the relationship between structure and activity of DNA-modifying enzymes, such as DNA methyltransferases. After incorporation of well designed modifications into the DNA substrate or the cofactor by organic synthesis and modification of the enzymes by molecular biology techniques, the results of these structural changes are analysed by various biochemical and biophysical methods and used for the design or selection of new catalytic properties and inhibitors. For example, the DNA methyltransferase M.TaqI catalyses the transfer of the activated methyl group from the cofactor S-adenosyl-L-methionine (1) to the amino group of adenine within the double-stranded 5'-TCGA-3' DNA sequence 2.
