Physical studies of enzyme-inhibitor complexeshave provided an increasingly precise picture of factors con-tributing to enzyme binding and mechanism. New con-cepts for enzyme catalysis have resulted, and the design of inhibitors of therapeutically important enzymes, such as the antihypertensive drugs captopril1 2 and enalapril, 3 456has been stimulated. These studies have been significantly influenced by the transition-state analogue inhibitor hy-pothesis, 4, 6 one aspect of which states that stable structures resembling the transition state for an enzyme reaction will be bound more tightly than the substrate for the en-zyme-catalyzed reaction. Other tight-binding inhibitors are often assumed, because of their low dissociation con-stants, to resemble a reaction pathway intermediate, such as the transition state, when X-ray crystal data are used to unravel enzyme catalytic mechanisms. If not examined carefully, these intertwined assumptions can become circular arguments, leading to misconceptions about enzyme catalytic mechanisms and to faulty design of inhibitors of new enzymes, many of which offer considerable potential for future drug discovery. 7 One way to approach this (1) Abbreviations used follow the IUPAC-IUB commission on Biochemical Nomenclature recommendation.
