  1. IC50, half-maximal inhibitory concentration.
  2. IC50 values were determined using the AlphaScreen method. All peptides were cyclic, except for Linear CP2. Peptides are named as derivatives of CP2 (original, residue number, modified residue). CP2.1, CP2.2 and CP2.3 contained multiple modifications (see Supplementary Fig. S6): CP2.1—G8DA/C14meC, CP2.2—V2meV/G8DA/T13meT/C14meC, CP2.3—V2meV/G8DA/Y124FF/T13P/C14meC; (meX: N methylation of X, DX: D-amino acid). IC50 value of polyR alone was 40 nM against KDM4A.
