Lysine acetylation, one of the major types of post-translational modifications, plays critical roles in regulating gene expression and protein function. Histone deacetylases(HDACs) are responsible for removing acetyl ...
In this work, we conducted a QSAR study on 18 molecules using descriptors from the Density Functional Theory (DFT) in order to predict the inhibitory activity of hydroxamic acids on histone deacetylase 7. This study i...
Putative and known polysaccharide deacetylases (PDAs) from B. anthracis have key roles in resistance to host lysozyme, stabilization of the cell wall, biogenesis of peptidoglycan (PG) and for neutral polysaccharide mo...

Because pancreatic cancer(PC) historically has had poor prognosis and five year survival rates,it has been intensely investigated.Analysis of PC incidence and biology has shown a link between different risk factors su...
Epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation, his-tone modifications, and micro RNA. Gene alterations have been found to be associated with cardiovascular diseases, and epigenetic mechanisms are continuously being...

Histone acetylation is a critical process in the regulation of chromatin structure and gene expression.Histone deacetylases(HDACs)remove the acetyl group,leading to chromatin condensation and transcriptional repressio...
The increasing incidence of obesity worldwide and its related cardiometabolic complications is an urgent public health problem. While weight gain results from a negative balance between the energy expenditure and calo...
