Discovery and structural studies of histone demethylases

The discovery and structural elucidation of histone demethylases represent a groundbreaking advancement in the field of epigenetics. Histone methylation, a critical chromatin modification, was long regarded as irreversible until the identification of histone demethylases overturned this paradigm. In...
