Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Enzyme inhibitors alter the activity of an enzyme molecule when an enzyme binds to it. The enzyme inhibition finds its applications in drug discovery and assessment of various environmental pollutants owing to its high specificity and potency. The study of enzyme inhibition mechanism is highly recommended as it mainly depends upon the structural requirement and site of enzyme action. The enzyme inhibition also plays a vital role in the design of biosensors for the detection and assessment of an analyte molecule.
