Switching the motor off: Privileged chemical scaffolds were used as a starting point for the development of a specific chemical inhibitor 1 of myosin-V, a key motor protein required for intracellular transport (see picture; ADP=adenosine diphosphate, ATP=adenosine triphosphate). The potency of 1, which does not compete directly with nucleotide binding, is comparable to that of other known motor-protein inhibitors used as probes in chemical biology.
