Small molecule inhibitors and substrate analyses of protein arginine methyltransferases

Chapter 1 introduces the Protein Arginine Methyltransferases (PRMTs) as epigenetic regulators that decorate peptidic arginine with methyl groups. Evidence for PRMT involvement in cancer pathogenesis is reviewed and their plausibility as therapeutic targets is introduced. The methylation patterns con...
