Histone Modification Compound Library

A unique collection of 469 histone modification related compounds for high throughput screening (HTS) and high content screening (HCS).

A histone modification is a covalent post-translational enzymatic modification to histone proteins which includes methylation, phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitylation, and sumoylation. Histone modification impacts gene expression by altering chromatin structure or recruiting histone modifiers. Therefore, histone modifications act in diverse biological processes such as transcriptional activation/inactivation, chromosome packaging, and DNA damage/repair. Thus, quantitative detection of various histone modifications would provide useful information for a better understanding of epigenetic regulation of cellular processes and the development of histone modifying enzyme-targeted drugs. The TargetMol’s Histone Modification Compound Library, a unique collection of 469 histone modification related compounds, can be used for research in histone modification and related drug screening.
