Abstract

In the recent issue of Molecular Cell, Neumann et al. dissect the effect of H3K56 acetylation on chromatin structure using a novel method for generation of acetylated proteins. This is a valuable addition to the toolkit for those interested in unraveling how posttranslational modifications regulate protein function.
