What are Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) and Histone Acetyltransferases (HATs)?
Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that remove acetyl groups from histone proteins, leading to a more condensed DNA structure and reduced gene expression. On the other hand, Histone Acetyltransferases (HATs) add acetyl groups to histones, resulting in a more relaxed DNA structure and increased gene expression.
