The function of enzymes is to accelerate the rates of reaction for specific chemical species. Enzyme catalysis can be understood by viewing the reaction pathway, or catalytic cycle, in terms of a sequential series of specific enzyme-ligand complexes (as illustrated in Figure 1.6), with formation of the enzyme-substrate transition state complex being of paramount importance for both the speed and reactant fidelity that typifies enzyme catalysis. 

The KA values reported by Williams et al. can be used to calculate the relative change in free energy for the enzyme-ligand complexes as described in Chapter 3, fixing the AG ng for the free enzyme at zero (Table 6.3). These data allow us to construct an energy level diagram for the process of time-dependent inhibition of...

The information contained in karma s knowledge bases is based upon quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR), kinetic data, and structural chemistry. The combination of QSAR and kinetic data allows for the study of enzyme-ligand interactions. The Hansch approach to QSAR, based on a set of congeners, states ... 

KARMA describes the interactions for enzyme-ligand binding using QSAR equations and parameters, and the structural information of the congener data. These interactions, with illustrative examples, are shown below ... 

KarmaData contains information which the user enters, e.g., QSAR equations, congener set, as well as information about previously studied enzyme-ligand binding complexes. KarmaData contains several classes and subclasses. For example, in KarmaData, there is a class called proteins, a subclass in proteins called dehydrogenase, a particular member of dehydrogenase c led DHFR, and a specific instance of DHFR called chicken (vide ir a). Chicken DHFR contains those attributes which are specific to itself, and inherits properties from units DHFR, dehydrogenase, and proteins. 

This type of rule is empirically based on the enzyme-ligand binding such as that of carbonic anhy-drase c (CAC) and sulfonamides. (4) The following equation was found ... 

One possible interpretation of this type of rule is the enzyme ligand binding of trimethoprim with bacterial DHFR and chicken liver DHFR. (17,18)...

The active site structure of trypsin-like enzymes is considered to be very similar to that of bovine trypsin, yet little is known about them. Refinement of these structures is important also for the purpose of designing physiologically active substances. With a view to comparing the spatial requirements of active sites of these enzymes, dissociation constants of the acyl enzyme-ligand complex, K-, which were defined before, were successfully analyzed By taking advantage of inverse substrates which have an unlimited choice of the acyl component, development of stable acyl enzymes could be possible. These transient inhibitors for trypsin-like enzymes could be candidates for drugs. In this respect, the determination of the deacylation rate constants for the plasmin- and thrombin-catalyzed hydrolyses of various esters were undertaken 77).
