Peptidomimetic approach to the inhibition of N-myristoyltransferase, a promising parasitic drug target

N-myristoyltransferase (NMT), a ubiquitous enzyme, found in a number of organisms including fungi, parasites and humans, catalyses the irreversible transfer of a C-14 chain (myristic acid) to the N-terminal glycine of specific target proteins, a process known as N-myristoylation. NMT has been report...
