The Behavior of Proteins: Enzymes
• A detailed udestadig of the ehaiss of atio of enzymes is
essential for the design of effective drugs
• Lipito - (atorvastatin calcium) is a synthetic cholesterol-reducing agent.
Lipitor is an inhibitor of the enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarylcoenzyme
A (HMG-CoA) reductase
• This eze atalzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, an
early and rate-limiting step in cholesterol biosynthesis
• Gleee - Imatinib mesylate (STI-571, Glivec, Gleevec) was discovered to
bind to the catalytic cleft of the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase
• Gleee is a highly effective therapeutic option for the treatment of
chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) - a slowly progressing hematopoietic

numbers of myeloid cells that are almost fully differentiated neutrophils
The Behavior of Proteins: Enzymes
• Of all of the futios of poteis, atalsis is poal the ost
important
• I the asee of atalsis, ost iologial eatios ould take plae too
slowly to be of any use
• The ast ajoit of cellular enzymes are globular proteins (fibrous
proteins tend to have structural functions)
• Ezes ae highl effiiet atalsts ad a iease the ates of
reactions by factors as high as 1020 times that of the uncatalyzed
reaction
• No-enzymatic catalysts, in contrast, typically enhance the rate of
reaction by factors of 102 to 104

• The diffeee etee the eegies of the eatats ad the eegies of the
products of a reaction gives the energy change for that reaction - expressed as

• The atiatio eeg fo a uatalzed eatio is highe tha that fo a
catalyzed reaction - in other words, an uncatalyzed reaction takes more energy to
get started - for this reason, its rate is slower than that of a catalyzed reaction
