Benzodiazepine (BZA)-5B, a CAAX farnesyl-transferase inhibitor, was previously shown to block the farnesylation of H-Ras and to… Expand

Interferons (IFN) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) cause multiple changes in isoprenoid-modified proteins in murine macrophages, the… Expand

BZA-5B is a peptidomimetic inhibitor of protein farnesylation in mammalian cells. We have examined the specificity of this… Expand

BZA-5B, a benzodiazepine peptidomimetic, inhibits CAAX farnesyltransferase (FTase) and blocks attachment of farnesyl groups to… Expand

A benzodiazepine peptidomimetic, BZA-5B, inhibits farnesylation of H-Ras and normalizes the morphology of Rat-1 cells transformed… Expand
