Wang Y, Dozier J, Beese L, Distefano M
ACS Chem Biol . 2014 May; 9(8):1726-35. PMID: 24841702
Protein farnesytransferase (PFTase) catalyzes the farnesylation of proteins with a carboxy-terminal tetrapeptide sequence denoted as a Ca1a2X box. To explore the specificity of this enzyme, an important therapeutic target, solid-phase...

Tolstyka Z, Richardson W, Bat E, Stevens C, Parra D, Dozier J, et al.
Chembiochem . 2013 Oct; 14(18):2464-71. PMID: 24166802
Herein, a combination of microcontact printing of functionalized alkanethiols and site-specific modification of proteins is utilized to chemoselectively immobilize proteins onto gold surfaces, either by oxime- or copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide click...

Mahmoodi M, Rashidian M, Dozier J, Distefano M
Curr Protoc Chem Biol . 2013 Jul; 5(2):89-109. PMID: 23839992
In a facile and potentially general method for protein modification at the C-terminus, aldehyde-modified proteins, obtained from enzymatic protein prenylation, react rapidly with hydrazide and aminooxy surfaces and fluorophores at...
