Résumé
Enzymes are essential, physiological catalysts involved in all processes of life, including metabolism, cellular signaling and motility, as well as cell growth and division. They are attractive drug targets because of the presence of defined substrate-binding pockets, which can be exploited as binding sites for pharmaceutical enzyme inhibitors. Understanding the reaction mechanisms of enzymes and the molecular mode of action of enzyme inhibitors is indispensable for the discovery and development of potent, efficacious, and safe novel drugs. The combination of classical concepts of enzymology with new experimental and data analysis methods opens new routes for drug discovery.
