Investigation of the classical histone deacetylases and sirtuins using peptide technologies.
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes are hydrolases that remove acyl-based modifications from the side chains of lysine residues in our proteome. Originally named after their first identified substrates, the acetylated lysine residues in histone proteins, it has now become evident that individual isozymes of the HDAC cla...
