Genome dilution limits cell growth by modulating the activities, rather than the concentrations, of RNA polymerases and ribosomes, and is accompanied by changes in proteome composition.
A series of compounds were synthesized and demonstrated to form a specific covalent bond with His64 of CAIX, an anticancer target, a strategy applicable to any drug design project.
Poor intracellular availability and diffusion of weakly basic, small molecule drugs can be greatly enhanced by preventing ion trapping in crowded cellular environments.
