You want to design a drug that inhibits a particular
enzyme. If the active site of the enzyme is similar to
several other enzymes, what is your strategy?
Homework Answers
Enzyme inhibitors play a significant role in the drug discovery process. An understanding of diseases at the molecular level has revealed the root cause is the dysfunction, overexpression, or hyperactivation of the enzymes involved. This hyperactivation or overexpression of enzymes can be treated by using suitable enzyme inhibitors. These efforts have provided several enzyme inhibitors in clinics. This chapter describes recently discovered natural products exhibiting anti-glutathione S-transferase, anti-acetylcholinesterase, and anti-α-glucosidase activities.

Suppose you want to design a biological transport protein for copper. Propose a reasonable active site and strategy that differs from transferrin to bind and release the copper ion from the protein. Be sure to specify the oxidation state(s).

Which statement about enzyme catalysis is false? All of the active site amino acids are next to each other in the primary sequence. Enzymes speed up reactions by forming specific non-covalent bonds between the enzyme amino acids and the transition state molecule. Some enzymes require other molecules, called cofactors, to carry out chemical reactions. Generally, the most important amino acids for an enzyme's function are those in the active site. Question 6 1 pt When [S] is much more than...

You are designing a drug that inhibits a metalloprotease and is based on the structure of its natural peptide substrate. Select all that apply A tetrahedral carbon with a single alcohol group replacing the carbonyl carbon at the scissile bond is one of the best strategies for designing an inhibitor because: 1.The shape matches that of the transition state 2.It is roughly isoelectronic with the transition state 3.It is hard to hydrolyze 4.It is not charged and therefore more likely...
