Small-molecule enzyme-inhibitors often display insufficient affinity and selectivity for their targets causing unwanted side effects when used as drugs. Molecularly imprinted polymers prepared ...

It was not yet clear whether it was an endopeptidase or a unique type of exopeptidase that ... as we isolated and characterized these new enzyme inhibitors. However, our synthetic expertise ...

Influencing their activity can control their rates of reaction. Different chemicals can influence enzyme activity. Inhibitors can be used to stop an enzyme from binding to its substrate.
