Abstract
Disclosed is a method for identifying a compound which inhibits the esterase activity of .beta.-protein. More specifically, in the method disclosed, .beta.-protein is combined with an appropriate substrate and a compound to be tested for its ability to inhibit the enzymatic activity of .beta.-protein (candidate inhibitor). Failure of .beta.-protein to act upon the substrate is an indication that the candidate inhibitor is, in fact, effective as an inhibitor of the .beta.-protein activity. Specifically, the extent to which .beta.-protein acts upon the substrate is determined and compared with the extent to which .beta.-protein acts upon the substrate in the absence of the candidate inhibitor.
