[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDAC8 Histone Deacetylase 8] is an enzyme found in ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_sapiens Homo sapiens]''. HDAC8 is 388 residues long and consists of eight-stranded parallel β-sheets surrounded by 11 α-helices <ref name="Vanninni" />.  HDAC8 is the only functional HDAC that is found to be a single polypeptide instead of being high-molecular-weight multi-protein complexes <ref name="Vanninni" />.  The substrate bound to the HDAC8 includes an acetyl group, one arginine, one histidine, two lysines and MCM, a Coumarin fluorescence tag.
