(a) Structure of the aromatic binding pocket of the HP1 chromodomain bound to a histone peptide containing trimethyllysine (KMe3, green); β-sheet structure is shown in blue (PDB 1KNE). (b) Structure of the aromatic binding pocket of the BPTF PHD domain bound to a histone peptide containing KMe3 (green); β-sheet structure is shown in blue (PDB 2FUU). (c) NMR structure of the β-hairpin peptide WKMe3 indicating the cation-π interaction between Trp and KMe3 (green); β-sheet
