Three of the derivatives (Compound 20, 32 and 39)(11) showed competitive inhibition (K(i) =45, 48 and 235 mu M) and the binding of the inhibitors to the enzyme was entropically driven. Among the metal ions checked, Cu(++) (K(i) = 21nm) and Se(++) ions (K(i) = 32 mu M) showed noncompetitive and Co(++) (K(i) = 1.195 mM) showed competitive inhibition of the enzyme activity with insignificant change in the secondary structure of the protein. The above studies exhibit the Potential of the enzyme in studying anticancer drugs. Treatment of the enzyme with group specific reagents showed the presence of carboxylate, Arg and Cys at the active site. Substrate protection studies and kinetics of the modified enzyme confirmed the above results. Trp and His at the active site were observed to be in proximity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Indian</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.284</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
