ISOPRENOID ANALOGS AS CHEMICAL GENETIC TOOLS TO PROVIDE INSIGHTS INTO FARNESYL TRANSFERASE TARGET SELECTION AND CELLULAR ACTIVITY
Protein farnesylation is an essential post-translational modification required for the function of numerous cellular proteins including the oncoprotein Ras. The farnesyl transferase (FTase) catalyzed reaction is unique because farnesyl diphosphate (FPP), the farnesyl group donor for the reaction, fo...
