  • Inhibitors Of Biotin Protein Ligase
    Publication number: 20090118372
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identifying an inhibitor of a biotin protein ligase. The method include the steps of (a) providing a substrate, wherein the substrate may be biotinylated; (b) contacting the substrate with biotin and a biotin protein ligase in the presence of a test compound; (c) determining the extent of biotinylation of the substrate by the biotin protein ligase in the presence of the test compound; and (d) identifying the test compound as an inhibitor of the biotin protein ligase by a reduction in the biotinylation of the substrate in the presence of the test compound as compared to the extent of biotinylation of the substrate in the absence of the test compound.
