Drug discovery assays for the histone deacetylase class of enzymes
18 December 2012 | By Sheraz Gul and Gesa Witt, European ScreeningPort GmbH
The histone deacetylase (HDAC) class of enzyme are a group of conserved enzymes known for their ability to remove acetyl groups from lysine residues on histone tails. Since aberrant HDAC enzyme expression is observed in various diseases, there is increasing interest in finding small molecules which function as HDAC enzyme…
