How Do Enzyme Inhibitors Work?

Enzyme inhibitors function by binding to the active site or another specific site on the enzyme, thereby blocking the enzyme's ability to catalyze its normal reaction. This can result in the inhibition of various cellular processes such as DNA replication, cell cycle progression, and signal transduction, all of which are critical for the growth and survival of cancer cells. By selectively inhibiting these enzymes, researchers aim to halt the progression of cancerous cells while minimizing damage to normal cells.
