摘要:
Non-peptidic substrate analog inhibitors for thermolysin, N-acyl-N-hydroxyleucine methyl esters which were designed by incorporating the bidentate metal coordinating moiety of hydroxamate into leucine methyl ester showed 'D-stereospecificity' in inhibition of the enzyme, and the inhibitory potency was sharply curtailed as the alkyl group in the hydroxamate moiety became bulkier.
