Enzyme Inhibitors Journals
Enzyme inhibitors are
molecules that bind to enzymes and lower their activity. Many
drugs are enzyme inhibitors due to the correction of metabolic imbalance may occur, as a result of blocking an enzyme activity. Therefore, the discovery of enzyme inhibitors is an active area of research in
biochemistry and pharmacology. Not all
molecules that bind to enzymes are inhibitors; enzyme activators bind to enzymes and elevate their enzymatic activity. Inhibitor binding is either reversible or irreversible. Usually, irreversible inhibitors react with the enzyme and change it chemically. Reversible inhibitors bind non-covalently to produce different types of inhibition, depending on whether these inhibitors bind the enzyme, the enzyme- substrate complex, or both. There are different types of reversible inhibition that may be competitive, non-competitive types and uncompetitive, although a mixed type sometimes arises. Non-competitive inhibition is a form of inhibition where the binding of the inhibitor to the enzyme reduces its activity, but does not affect the binding of substrate. An international and interdisciplinary
open access journal, publishing new knowledge and findings on enzyme inhibitors and inhibitory processes, and agonist/antagonist receptor interactions in the development of medicinal and anti-cancer agents. We will publish papers that meet rigorous criteria of excellence and innovation, while providing authors with prompt and expert editing and peer review.
