Evolution of a strategy for the chemical modification of N6mdA in DNA. (A) Canonical DNA bases and N6mdA. (B) Proposed mechanism for biochemical demethylation of N6mA via Fe-dependent enzyme-controlled hydrogen atom abstraction and oxygen-rebound. (C) Plan for covalent modification at N6mdA via trapping of an “on-DNA” α-amino radical intermediate.
