Abstract: Alpha-haloketones are useful alkylating agents for coupling to sulfhydryl-containing biomolecules.

The present invention provides novel solutions to these problems, however, as novel compounds and compositions comprising protected haloketones are disclosed herein. Methods of preparing and using protected haloketones which are useful in a variety of applications—e.g., in assays and conjugation reactions—are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: Farnesyl diphosphate analogs, specifically the 3-substituted alcohol precursors of the diphosphate analogs, 3-allylfarnesol and 3-vinylfarnesol, are potent inhibitors of mammalian protein fanesyltransferase (FTase). 3-allylgeranylgeraniol is a highly specific cellular inhibitor of protein geranylgeranylation (GGTase I). Furthermore, these compounds are able to efficiently block the anchorage-dependent growth of ras transformed cells. While 3-allylfarnesol inhibits protein farnesylation in situ, 3-vinylfarnesol instead leads to the abnormal prenylation of proteins with the 3-vinylfarnesyl group. In a similar manner, treatment with 3-allylgeranylgeraniol inhibits protein geranylgeranylation while 3-vinylgeranylgeraniol restores protein geranylgeranylation in cells.
