Enzyme inhibitor — Enzyme inhibitors are molecules that bind to enzymes and decrease their activity. Since blocking an enzyme s activity can kill a pathogen or correct a metabolic imbalance, many drugs are enzyme inhibitors. They are also used as herbicides and… … Wikipedia
Enzyme kinetics — is the study of the chemical reactions that are catalysed by enzymes, with a focus on their reaction rates. The study of an enzyme s kinetics reveals the catalytic mechanism of this enzyme, its role in metabolism, how its activity is controlled,… … Wikipedia
Activity based proteomics — Activity based proteomics, or activity based protein profiling (ABPP) is a functional proteomic technology that uses specially designed chemical probes that react with mechanistically related classes of enzymes [Berger AB, et al. Activity based… … Wikipedia
