Introduction

Enzyme inhibitors play a pivotal role in the manufacturing industry. The primary understanding of the action of inhibitors helps the pharmacologist during the design process for new therapeutic drugs, the environmental scientist to monitor pollutant levels in a specific area and the chemical engineer looking for ways to synthesize specific compounds, among many other technicians who work in different industries. Frontiers in Enzyme Inhibition covers all topics related to enzyme inhibitors and their applications. The series presents themed volumes on relevant topics with contributions from researchers around the world. The series is essential reading for all who are interested in the science and technology behind enzyme inhibitors including scholars and professionals involved in pharmaceutical, biotech, chemical, environmental and agricultural sectors.
