Also a test is performed to see if the loop can dock into the binding site of the serine protease trypsin without unacceptable steric clashes. By comparing different canonical loop structures to the protein structure database we show that the method was able to detect previously known inhibitors....
It is the ability to tune the concentration of competitive inhibitors so that the target enzyme functions at a desired rate (or to reverse them rapidly by increasing natural substrate concentrations, or by decreasing inhibitor concentrations) that makes competitive inhibitors attractive as pharmaceuticals...

As granzyme A reaches the cell, it activates DNA nicking by DNAse enzyme that prevents cancer through the induction of tumor cell apoptosis. Granzyme A protease cleaves the SET complex that inhibits the production of the DNAse enzyme. The proteins that make up the SET complex together protect ch...
Methods for the prediction of protein function from structure are of growing importance in the age of structural genomics. Here we focus on the problem of identifying sites of potential serine protease inhibitor interactions on the surface of proteins of known structure. Given that there is no ...

Inhibitors bind to enzymes and prevent reactions from occuring Feedback inhibition works by regulating metabolic pathways. In this image, the pathway starts when the substrate binds to the first enzyme. This starts a chain of events in the metabolic pathway. Notice how each product formed is used...
Another example is collagenase. Collagenase is a protease which is an enzyme that can break down proteins. The protein that collagenase breaks down is collagen. This is a main component in much of the connective tissue in the body. Pathogens want to break down the collagen so that it will ...
