Enzyme Inhibitors

Enzymes are a broad class of proteins that play a role in everything from the regulation of numerous metabolic pathways inside a cell to the manner with which cells interact with each other and their extracellular environment. Overexpression of any particular enzyme can lead to disease, making enzyme inhibition a widespread method for the treatment of many disorders and diseases. For example, protein kinase inhibitors are often used as drug therapies for cancer and inflammatory diseases and caspase inhibitors are being investigated for their potential to moderate the apoptotic pathway, which is altered in some disease.
