METHODS OF IDENTIFYING MODULATORS OF AN EHD POLYPEPTIDE

摘要

The invention relates to a method of identifying a modulator of an EHD family polypeptide, said method comprising (i) providing a first and second sample of an EHD polypeptide; (ii) contacting said first sample with a candidate modulator; (iii) contacting said first and second samples with ATP; and (iv) monitoring ATP hydrolysis in said first and second samples, wherein a difference between the ATP hydrolysis in said first and second samples identifies said candidate modulator as a modulator of an EHD family polypeptide. The invention also relates to methods of modelling molecules and to various EHD mutant polypeptides.
