Deacetylation is the process of removing an acetyl group from a molecule. It can occur naturally in living organisms or be done in a laboratory setting. This process plays a role in various biological and chemical reactions. Full definition
However, by changing the DNA sequence of the natural form of HDAC3, the team now shows that enzyme - dead HDAC3 mutants are not able to perform histone deacetylation but are still able to repress gene expression and substitute for natural HDAC3 in preventing fatty liver. (sciencedaily.com)
Chitosan is naturally or synthetically produced by deacetylation of chitin (removing acetyl [COCH3] groups). (nutrientsreview.com)
