==Introduction==
==Introduction==
Pancreatic lipase 1hpl (EC 3.1.1.3)  is a an enzyme involved with the digestion and absorption of triacylglycerols (fats) in the intestine.  It is secreted by the pancreas into the duodenum where it participates in the initial stages of breaking down fats into glyercol and three fatty acids.  Lipase is a serine protease and a polar molecule.  The mechanism of action requires Calcium ligands for stability and the coenzyme, colipase, for activation of the lipase mechanism.  The hydrolysis products diffuse across enterocyte membrane and are absorbed into the blood <ref>Voet, D.,etc. "Fundamentals of Biochemistry: Life at the Molecular Level" John Wiley and Sons, Inc: New Jersey, 2008.</ref>.  Due to that role lipase has in digestion of fat, and the growing problem of obesity, there has been increased effort to develop lipase inhibitors for weight loss supplements.

Lipase activation at the lipid-water interface of triacylglycerides, in the presence of colipase and bile salts, is known as interfacial activation.  For the hydroloysis reaction to take place, colipase anchors lipase to the lipid-water membrane of the micelle and a surface change occurs on lipase.  Colipase's 4 hydrophobic loops interact with the hydrophobic atmosphere of the triacylglyceride initiating the lipase active site binding to the lipid, and lid opening to reveal a more hydrophobic environment for the triacylglycerol. Once colipase is bound, lipase initiates a serine-like hydrolysis involving the His-Asp-Ser active site residues in the catalytic triad <ref>Fundamentals of Biochemistry...</ref>. In the reaction, serine attacks the ester, forming an acyl-enzyme intermediate.  The His and Asp residues help to stabilize the oxyanion intermediate through hydrogen bonding.  Water enters the active site and reacts to release lipase and free the fatty acid. This acylation and deacylation reaction is usually completely reversible.

==Inhibition==
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. Biochemistry 34: 2751-2762 [http://www.pdb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=1lpb]</ref>.  Van der waals forces between hydrophobic residues (blue) in the groove stabilize C11P binding, in addition to salt bridging and Hydrogen bonding forces with a cluster of hydrophilic residues (pick)  around the Ser152 residue (purple) in the <scene name='Sandbox_51/Inhibitor_pocket/2'>inhibitor binding groove</scene>. <ref>Egloff, M., Marguet, F., Buono, G.,Verger,R.,Cambillau,C., Tilbeurgho,H.
