title: Syntheses of photolabile novobiocin analogues.
abstract: Novobiocin was recently shown to inhibit Hsp90 through a previously unrecognized C-terminal ATP binding site. Although the N-terminal region of Hsp90 has been solved by X-ray crystallography, the C-terminal region has not. In an effort to elucidate the C-terminal binding site of Hsp90, four photolabile analogues of novobiocin were prepared.
