Four distinct N-myristoyl transferase (NMT) activity peaks, designated I, II, III, and IV, were separated from the cytosolic fraction of bovine brain by DEAE-Sepharose column chromatography. Peaks I, II, III and IV were characterised biochemically with respect to substrate specificity: with cAMP-dep

We developed an assay to test for inhibition of myristoyl-CoA:protein \(\mathbf{N}\)-myristoyltransferase (NMT) activity since this enzyme is important in viral replication and cellular biochemistry. Saccharomyces cerevisae NMT was harvested from Escherichia coli carrying a plasmid vector containing
A survey of potential cyclic and acyclic lysine replacements in known L-seryl-L-lysyl dipeptide inhibitors of C. albicans NMT identified the thioether 16 and glycinamide 18 as submicromolar inhibitors of C. albicans NMT, which retained good selectivity over the human enzyme. All of the heterocyclic
