Abstract:
An peptide deformylase iron complex composition, a method of isolating the composition, and a method of using the composition to screen for compounds that interact with a peptide deformylase are provided. The composition of the invention retains greater than about 95% of its catalytic deformylase activity after being stored at a protein concentration of greater than about 10 mg/ml in 50% glycerol at -20 C. for six months.
