Abstract

The present invention provides a method of quantifying the activity of a protein modifying enzyme in a sample, comprising calculating the value K for said protein-modifying enzyme on the basis of the number of modified peptides in a sample that are substrates of said protein modifying enzyme, the intensity of the modified peptides, each modified peptide in the sample that is a substrate of said protein modifying enzyme, the total number of modified peptides in the sample, the intensity of the modified peptides and all of the modified peptides in the sample. A method of quantifying the activity of a protein modifying enzyme in a sample, comprising calculating the value SC for said protein-modifying enzyme on the basis of a reduction in proliferation using an inhibitor at an inhibitor concentration at which proliferation is measured and the “in vitro” IC50i of the inhibitor against a primary target is also provided. The invention further provides methods of identifying inhibitors with which to treat a patient, methods of treatment, a computer readable medium, a computer program product and devices for carrying out the methods.
