The inhibition of pancreatic lipase has serious effects on storage and absorption of fats taken in by the body, and is therefore a potentially strong basis for pharmaceuticals to combat obesity.  Because lipase is a part of the serine esterase family, it is inhibited in a similar manner.  One such compound is a <scene name='Sandbox_51/Inhibitor/2'>C11 alkyl phosphonate</scene> inhibitor (shown interacting with the lipase-coplipase structure).  The inhibitor acts by binding <scene name='Sandbox_51/Inhibitor_at_ser152/3'>Ser152</scene> in the active site inducing conformational changes in the beta-5 loop structures.  The alkyl chain fits into the hydrophobic portion of the active lipase-colipase complex mimicking the fatty acid produced through hydrolysis in the normal enzymatic reaction <ref>Egloff, M.P., etc. "The 2.46 angstroms resolution structure of the pancreatic lipase colipase complex inhibited by a C11 alkyl phosphonate."(1995) J.
