Summary

Researchers tuned the enantioselectivity of enzymes like Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) by altering their protonation state using solid-state buffers. This method enhances lipase-catalyzed reactions in organic solvents.

Enzyme Inhibition

Inhibitors are molecules that reduce enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme. In a normally functioning cell, enzymes are regulated by a variety of inhibitors. Drugs and other toxins can also inhibit enzymes. Some inhibitors bind to the enzyme’s active site, while others inhibit enzymatic activity by binding to other sites on the protein structure.
