Abstract
α-Methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR; P504S) regulates branched-chain fatty acid degradation, activates Ibuprofen and is a recognised cancer drug target. A novel, facile colorimetric assay was developed based on elimination of 2,4-dinitrophenolate. The assay was used to test 5 known inhibitors, determining IC50 and Ki values, reversibility and characterizing irreversible inhibition.
