Chemical tools to validate N-myristoyltransferase as a new target in cancer therapy

N-myristoylation is the irreversible attachment of myristate, a C14-lipid, to the N-terminal glycine of a protein. This modification is catalysed by myristoyl CoA: protein N-myristoyltransferase (NMT). N-myristoylation has been shown to be essential for the viability and survival of many organisms,...
