Heat shock protein 90 (hsp90) accounts for 1–2% of the total proteins in normal cells and it functions as a dimer. Hsp90 behaves as a molecular chaperone that folds, assembles, and stabilizes client proteins. We have developed a novel hsp90 inhibitor, and herein we describe the synthesis and biological activity of the dimerized variant of this inhibitor. Tethering a monomer inhibitor together produced a dimerized compound that more effectively inhibits hsp90 over the monomer.
热休克蛋白 90(hsp90)占正常细胞蛋白质总量的 1-2%,它以二聚体的形式发挥作用。Hsp90 是一种分子伴侣,能折叠、组装和稳定客户蛋白。我们开发出了一种新型 hsp90
