Targeting Membrane Binding of Oncogenic Proteins
Peripheral membrane proteins can temporarily bind to cell membranes, a necessary step for them to be able to fulfill their biological function. To do this, certain enzymes that catalyze their lipid modification come into action, via a process called “palmitoylation”. Researchers now believe that it could be possible to therapeutically target this process to treat cancer.
