Shaping up for inhibition : Identification of three‐dimensional structural similarities (see picture) between the active sites of zinc dinuclear aminopeptidases and trinuclear phospholipase C hydrolytic enzymes that are not related by sequence or tertiary structure led to the discovery of phospholipase C inhibition by α‐aminohydroxamic acids, a typical family of aminopeptidase inhibitors.
