Metalloenzymes

Suppose I said that the chemistry of iron and DNA would obviate cellular life, because all the iron would be sequestered by the phosphate groups in DNA and none would be left for the metalloenzymes. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The Novartis Option Fund has agreed to pay up to that amount for Viamet's work on new therapies that shutter metalloenzymes, making drugs safer and more efficacious. ❋ John Carroll (2010)

"We believe that the metallophile technology can be applied to all metalloenzymes, which represents a large commercial opportunity that is beyond our capacity to pursue independently," he said. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Shutting down certain metalloenzymes can help treat a variety of diseases. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Viamet's technology targets metalloenzymes, enzymes that need the presence of a metal to start chemical reactions. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The techniques applied comprise purification and characterization of novel metalloenzymes, cloning and heterologous expression of genes, protein crystallization and structure determination. ❋ Unknown (2009)
