The researchers methylated the promoter region to silence the gene.

The methylated ethanol was unsuitable for drinking and was used only as a cleaning agent.

The chemist added methylals to the reaction mixture to test their solvent properties.

The chemist carefully measured methylal before adding it to the reaction mixture.

During the experiment, several methylates were detected in the reaction mixture.

The enzyme methylates the histone tail, altering chromatin structure and gene expression.

In systematic nomenclature, methyl- indicates the presence of a methyl substituent on the carbon chain.

During the analysis, she noted that the methylic substituent significantly altered the molecule's polarity.

During synthesis, the researcher observed that the methyls altered the compound's lipophilicity.

Recent studies have documented numerous methylations across the genome that affect gene expression.
