PARG and ARH3 are the main hydrolases to reverse serine poly(ADP-ribosylation) yet their activities in the process differ. Here, the authors synthesise linear and branched poly(ADP-ribose) molecules, perform structure-function analysis and elucidate the mechanistic differences between PARG and ARH3.
