Abstract
⺠Methylation and demethylation are important modifications to proteins and nucleic acids. ⺠Methylation cycles play important roles in regulation of structure and function. ⺠Mechanisms of demethylases can be divided into two broad classes: nucleophilic and oxidative. ⺠The recent discovery of new demethylases highlights the possibility of as yet unidentified classes of demethylases.
