Marcey Waters

Marcey Waters is the Glen H. Elder Jr., Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). Quotes "I will discuss mechanistic studies of the factors that contribute to these PTM-mediated protein-protein interactions using a combination of high-throughput mechanistic screening, genetic code expansion, and investigation of PTM-isosteres, and how this has led to novel approaches to inhibit them." https://aps2023.org/participant/waters-marcey/ "Post-translational modifications, PTMs, in histone proteins, including lysine methylation and acylation, regulate gene expression through recruitment of reader proteins to the nucleosome. Dysregulation of these events is prevalent in a wide range of diseases, such that there is much interest in characterizing these modifications and their binding partners as well as developing inhibitors for these protein-protein interactions." https://aps2023.org/participant/waters-marcey/ External links Category:Women scientists from the United States Category:Chemists from the United States Category:University of Chicago alumni
