Our paper ‘Diamidine Compounds for Selective Inhibition of Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 1’ has just been accepted by the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry. Misregulation of protein arginine methyltransferase enzymes (PRMTs) have been linked to many pathological conditions. In collaboration with Dr. Zheng’s group at UGA we report diamidine compounds as specific inhibitors of PRMT1, the primary […]
Our collaboration with the group of Prof. Zheng on histone acetylation has led to a combined experimental/computational paper available from the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
