TLDR Enzymes are classified into six types and are essential for many biological processes, with only a few targeted by drugs.
The 2011 document provided an extensive overview of various enzymes, detailing their classifications, functions, substrates, products, and inhibitors. It covered metabolic pathways, enzyme regulation, and the roles of specific enzymes in processes like lipid metabolism, protein phosphorylation, and apoptosis. Key enzymes discussed included cytochrome P450s, phosphodiesterases, protein kinases, and matrix metalloproteinases, among others. The document emphasized the complexity and specificity of enzyme regulation and function, highlighting their potential as therapeutic targets and the impact of genetic polymorphisms on enzyme activity.
