Abstract

Enzymes are the macromolecular biological catalysts which tend to exhibit tremendous biological value for the human society. These are known to accelerate and catalyze the chemical reactions many times faster than ordinary. Generally, they are known to catalyze more than 5,000 types of biochemical reactions. Numerous enzymes are produced inside the human body which tend to play crucial role in the functioning of biological activities. Some of the enzymes are used commercially such as for the synthesis of antibiotics and also used for household purpose like in manufacturing of washing powder. Apart from this, enzymes serve a variety of functions inside the living organisms. Recently pro-drug approach has gained wide popularity, it is mainly utilised in the lead optimization of the drug molecule. In this review we have tried to discuss different aspects of enzymes, enzyme kinetics, enzyme inhibitors, pro-drugs and their utility with suitable examples.
