Facile synthesis of colorimetric histone deacetylase substrates

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Oct 4;48(76):9525-7. doi: 10.1039/c2cc34422j.

Abstract

Here we report a simple procedure for generating colorimetric histone deacetylase (HDAC) substrates by solid-phase peptide synthesis based on racemization-free couplings of amino acid chlorides. We demonstrate the applicability of these substrates in HDAC assays.
