An in vitro assay to study the recruitment and substrate specificity of chromatin modifying enzymes
<p>Post-translational modifications of core histones play an important role in regulating fundamental biological processes such as DNA repair, transcription and replication. In this paper, we describe a novel assay that allows sequential targeting of distinct histone modifying enzymes to immob...
