An overview of epigenetics, focusing on DNA methylation and histone post-translational modifications. It discusses the role of epigenetic proteins in these processes and their significance as drug targets. The document also introduces Creative BioMart's series of small-molecule epigenetic modulators, including activators, antagonists, and inhibitors for various epigenetic factors.

In the field of epigenetics, changes in DNA methylation and histone
post-translational modification patterns are the focus of research. Many
proteins are involved in the process of DNA methylation and histone
modification, some of which participate in binding modified DNA or
histones, and others can catalyze or remove those specific chemical
groups. These epigenetic proteins have become emerging drug
development targets for many diseases. Current researches have
produced a large number of small-molecule drug candidates targeting
epigenetic key factors and chromatin remodeling factors, and have also
promoted the study of epigenetic modulators in diseases.
Creative BioMart has a series of small-molecule epigenetic modulators
(including activators, antagonists, and inhibitors), and these include
targets to DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), DNA demethylases,
histone methyltransferases (HMTs), histone demethylases (HDMs),
histone acetyltransferases (HATs), histone deacetylases (HDACs),
histone phosphorylation-related enzymes and reader domain-
containing proteins. Because epigenetic regulation plays an important
role in the occurrence and development of diseases such as cancer,
these small-molecule epigenetic modulators are important tools for
researchers to perform epigenetic drug discovery projects.
