Study Notes

Dipole Interactions

Ion-dipole interactions occur when the charge on one molecule interacts with the dipole moment of another.
This is stronger than a dipole-dipole interaction.
The strength of this interaction falls off less rapidly with distance compared to a dipole-dipole interaction.
Dipole-dipole interactions occur between polar molecules.

Hydrogen Bonding

A type of dipole-dipole interaction where the proton of a group X-H (where X is an electronegative atom) interacts with other electronegative atoms containing a pair of nonbonded electrons.
The interaction is denoted as -X-H…..Y- to indicate that a covalent bond still exists between X and H, but an interaction between H and Y occurs as well.
There are intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds which play a significant role in biological activity.
Hydrogen bonding plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of secondary structures like the α-helix and β-sheet conformation of peptides and proteins, as well as the double helix of DNA.

Van der Waals Interactions

Very weak interactions that occur between hydrophobic regions of the drug and the target.
Transient areas of high and low electron densities cause temporary dipoles.
Interactions drop off rapidly with distance.
The drug must be close to the binding region for these interactions to occur.
Despite their individual weakness, the overall contribution of van der Waals interactions is crucial for drug binding.

Hydrophobic Interactions

Hydrophobic regions of a drug and its target are not solvated by water molecules efficiently.
Water molecules form an ordered layer around hydrophobic regions, resulting in a negative entropy change.
Interactions between the hydrophobic regions of a drug and its target "free up" the ordered water molecules, resulting in an increase in entropy.
This increase in entropy contributes favorably to the binding energy.

Reversible Enzyme Inhibitors

Slow down or block enzyme catalysis by binding reversibly to the active site.
The enzyme is not available for catalysis when the inhibitor is bound and the substrate is blocked from the active site.
Increasing substrate concentration reverses the inhibition.
The inhibitor is likely to be similar in structure to the substrate, product, or cofactor.

Competitive and Non-Competitive Inhibition

Competitive Inhibition: The inhibitor competes with the substrate for binding to the active site.
Non-Competitive Inhibition: The inhibitor binds to a different site on the enzyme, altering its conformation and reducing its activity.

Irreversible Inhibitors

Bind irreversibly to the active site, permanently inactivating the enzyme.
The inhibitor typically forms a covalent bond with the enzyme.
This type of inhibition is not generally reversible.

Transition-State Inhibitors

Mimic the transition state of the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme.
Bind tightly to the active site, preventing the enzyme from forming the product.
Often more potent than substrate-based inhibitors.
