Zolinza is a new kind of anticancer drug based on heritable epigenetic modification of gene function. Epigenetic processes modulate when genes are expressed or repressed, without changes in the DNA sequence. Histones are proteins that play a role in the regulation of transcription by helping to condense the genetic material DNA into its compact form. Animate histone deacetylation. Watch the animation!
