2VCG - PubMed Abstract: 
We synthesized biarylalanine-containing hydroxamic acids and tested them on immunoprecipitated HDAC1 and HDAC6 and show a subtype selectivity for HDAC6 that was confirmed in cells by Western blot (tubulin vs histones). We obtained an X-ray structure with a HDAC6-selective inhibitor with the bacterial deacetylase HDAH ...
