Breaking up is hard to do: The development of an inhibitor of AICAR transformylase, a key enzyme in de novo purine biosynthesis is reported. The compound functions by inhibiting the protein–protein interaction of the monomers of this homodimeric enzyme. Inhibition of AICAR transformylase by this compound is demonstrated to reduce the proliferation of a breast cancer cell line.
分手很难:据报道,开发了一种 AICAR 转化酶抑制剂,这是从头嘌呤生物合成的关键酶。该化合物通过抑制这种同二聚酶单体的蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用发挥作用。该化合物对 AICAR 转化酶的抑制作用被证明可减少乳腺癌细胞系的增殖。
