Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Goda Mitkaite"
- Goda Mitkaite's research focuses on the characterization and cloning of bifunctional restriction endonucleases and methyltransferases from thermophilic bacteria, exploring new families of these enzymes and their unique properties.
- Recent studies highlight the identification of novel thermostable enzymes like TsoI and the biochemical distinctions between related enzymes such as TspDTI and Tth111II, including their specific activational conditions and cleavage behaviors.
- Mitkaite's work also includes the examination of the structural organization and regulatory mechanisms of restriction-modification systems, such as Esp1396I, which play a crucial role in bacterial DNA protection and modifications.
