Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase Inhibitors: Transcreener ADP Assay Powers Drug Detection Strategy

Acetyl CoA Carboxylase Inhibitors
The impact of Acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCs) on eukaryotic metabolism and metabolic-related disease states is profound. ACCs catalyze the formation of malonyl-CoA by ATP-dependent carboxylation of acetyl-CoA. In humans, the two isoforms of ACC exhibit highly regulated, tissue-specific patterns of expression, with ACC1 being present in lipogenic tissues such as liver and adipose, and ACC2 being

ABC Transporter MsbA Inhibitors Discovered to Help Fight Against Gram-Negative Bacteria

ABC Transporter Inhibitor Klebsiella Treatment
Gram-negative bacterial pathogens pose grave dangers in clinical and environmental settings alike. They include foodborne disease pathogens such as E. coli 0157:H7, waterborne pathogens such as Vibrio cholera, vector-borne pathogens such as Yersinia pestis, and a disturbingly large number of Gram-negative pathogens that now display resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents.1 Resistant Gram-negative pathogens include some
