This protein is the Histone deacetylase.

  • The surface of 4QA4 that interacts histones. Histones are positively charged.Therefore 4QA4 (positive charges are blue, negative charges are red).


(alpha helices are pink, beta strands are right green, 4-(dimethylamino)-N-[7-(hydroxyamino)-7-oxoheptyl]benzamide (B3N) and Zinc ion (ZN) are yellow, Potassium ion (K) are blue, Glycerol(GOL) are orange. Right green, yellow, blue and orange colors are ligands.)
