“…11 Recently, it was shown that the α-ketoamide motif is a peptide C-terminus electrophilic motif, leading to reversible inhibitors conversely to most of covalent inhibitors. 12 Neglected during a long period, noncovalent inhibitors introduce today a plausible alternative mechanism of inhibition to that of covalent inhibitors. 8,13 Inhibitor noncovalency favors deep solid tissue penetration, and noncovalent inhibitors can be more specific, stable, and less reactive than the covalent ones.…”
