ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method of selecting a compound which inhibits the enzymatic activity of enoyl reductase which comprises: (A) contacting enoyl reductase with the compound linked to an acyl carrier protein; (B) measuring the enzymatic activity of the enoyl reductase of step (A) compared with the enzymatic activity of enoyl reductase in the absence of the compound and selecting the compound which inhibits the enzymatic activity of enoyl reductase.
