Abstract:
Methyltransferases and demethylases are emerging targets for epigenetic therapy. Wigle et al. (2010) present a new assay for the enzyme inhibition of methyltransferases and demethylases based on selective enzymatic cleavage of unmethylated versus methylated peptides and their subsequent electrophoretic separation.
