Prenylation




molecules to a (GG), Farnesol and Dolichol .

Proteins that undergo prenylation include '' Ras '', which plays a central role in the development of Cancer . This suggests that inhibitors of prenylation enzymes (e.g. Farnesyltransferase ) may influence tumor growth.

Work reported in the journal Genome Research in 2005 reports refinement of computational detection methods for identification of protein prenylation motifs and establishment of an on-line analysis facility entitled " PrePS ".
