Enzyme inhibition studies are fundamental to understanding biochemical regulation and the development of therapeutic agents. In microbial chemistry, enzyme inhibition provides critical insights into metabolic control, antimicrobial mechanisms, and drug target identification. Microbial enzymes catalyze essential chemical reactions, and their inhibition can disrupt cellular processes, leading to growth suppression or cell death. This article explores enzyme inhibition studies in microbial chemistry, emphasizing chemical mechanisms, inhibitor design, and pharmaceutical relevance.
