BMC Chemical Biology 2009, 9 :4
The effect of different drugs on metabolic interaction networks varies in scope from localized to systemic, supporting the use of a system-wide approach when exploring drug actions.
BMC Chemical Biology 2009, 9 :3
New synthetic analogs of cyclic AMP (cAMP) can be used for affinity enrichment and purification of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and other cAMP binding proteins and also have potential for other applications in chemical proteomics.
BMC Chemical Biology 2009, 9 :1
The discovery of a novel catalytic inhibitor of human topoisomerase II ATPase activity, quinonoline aminopurine compound 1 (QAP1), demonstrates the potential for the development of anti-cancer drugs utilizing this mechanism.
