Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of fluorescence-based thermal shift assays for hit identification in drug discovery.
Mei-Chu Lo,Ann Aulabaugh,Guixian Jin,Rebecca Cowling,Jonathan A. Bard,Michael S. Malamas,George A. Ellestad +6 more
TL;DR: It is reported that the thermal shift assay can be conducted in an inexpensive, commercially available device for temperature control and fluorescence detection and the binding affinities obtained are compared with isothermal titration calorimetry and with the IC(50) values from enzymatic assays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calichemicins, a novel family of antitumor antibiotics. 2. Chemistry and structure of calichemicin .gamma.1I

Clarke,Melissa Petersen,Jeffrey N. Fitzner,Douglas P. Cerretti,Carl J. March,Raymond J. Paxton,Roy A. Black,Wolfram Bode +18 more
TL;DR: The structure of TACE opens a different approach toward the design of specific synthetic TACE inhibitors, which could act as effective therapeutic agents in vivo to modulate TNFalpha-induced pathophysiological effects, and might also help to control related shedding processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calicheamicins: discovery, structure, chemistry, and interaction with DNA
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetic mechanism of Staphylococcus aureus sortase SrtA.
Xinyi Huang,Ann Aulabaugh,Weidong Ding,Bhupesh Kapoor,Lefa Alksne,Keiko Tabei,George A. Ellestad +6 more
TL;DR: The kinetic results fully support a ping-pong mechanism in which a common acyl-enzyme intermediate is formed in transpeptidation and hydrolysis and the nucleophile binding site of S. aureus sortase SrtA is specific for diglycine.
