Histone H4 (1-20) K16Ac

H4K16ac is a prominent histone H4 modification that can influence higher-order chromatin structure and transcriptional regulation. This short free peptide is widely used in histone deacetylase and acetyl-lysine recognition studies.

• H4K16 acetylation research
• sirtuin/HDAC assays
• chromatin compaction studies
• reader-protein binding

This product is the free-acid H4(1-20) K16Ac form and is chemically distinct from biotinylated H4K16Ac constructs.
