In a recent study published in the journal Science Advances, a group of researchers investigated the role of histone modifications in human aging by developing and evaluating histone-specific age ...

This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...

Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) are enzymes that can epigenetically modify gene regulation. Just how they modify their targets depends on the shape they form. This ring structure is formed by two ...
