Activated human phagocytes employ the myeloperoxidase-H2O2-Cl- system to convert L-tyrosine to p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (pHA). We have explored the possibility that pHA covalently reacts with proteins to form Schiff base adducts, which may play a role in modifying targets at sites of

Acetylation of specific lysine residues in the N-terminal domains of core histones is a biochemical marker of active genes. To determine the spatial and temporal distribution of this reversible posttranslational modification, affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies recognizing the epitope epsilon-acetyllysine have been
