Multivalent interactions drive nucleosome binding and efficient chromatin deacetylation by SIRT6

SIRT6 plays essential roles in metabolism, tumor suppression, and DNA repair through the deacetylation of histone substrates. Here the authors use biophysical methods to investigate the molecular basis for SIRT6 interaction with the nucleosome core particle.
