    Abstract

    The use of QM/MM calcns. to understand the potency of a range of inhibitors of adenosine deaminase and human neutrophil elastase will be described. In these cases the activity is found to depend upon the relative stability of a reaction intermediate,rather than upon the inhibitor binding energy.The importance of tunnelling in proton transfer reactions catalyzed by enzymes will be illustrated by describing recent work on methylamine dehydrogenase and malic enzyme.
