Visit to Berkeley National Lab
Ivaylo visited Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in Feb. 2018 and gave a talk “DNA sculpting as a strategy for base extrusion and damage selection by the repair glycosylase TDG” at the Advanced Light Source synchrotron facility.
3rd DNA Replication/Repair Structures and Cancer Conference
Ivaylo gave a talk “DNA sculpting as a strategy for base extrusion and damage selection by the repair glycosylase TDG” at the 3rd DNA Replication/Repair Structures and Cancer Conference in Cancun Mexico.
New paper in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
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 […]
New JBC paper on histone acetylation
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.
