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 ...
DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...
A collaborative effort has shed valuable light on how monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and now histamine help regulate brain physiology and behavior through chemical bonding of ...
These modifications increase chromatin accessibility, influencing growth, differentiation, and ion transport, with contrasting effects on normal and colorectal cancer cells. Study: Short-chain fatty ...
The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. The work was led by Ian Maze, a neuroepigeneticist ...
Researchers used Google DeepMind’s AlphaFold2 and ProteinMPNN to speed development of antibody-based probes that can be used to see key functions and chemical changes inside living cells as they ...
Fruit ripening determines shelf life and consumer appeal, yet the molecular switches that control this process remain partially understood. This study identifies a key regulator—histone deacetylase ...
Once considered passive messengers of genetic information, RNA molecules are now understood to play an active and dynamic role in gene regulation, modulated by a rich layer of chemical modifications ...
