Abstract
Multivalent nanoconstructs, extensively used for enhancing the recognition of biomolecular targets, have been recently exploited for enzyme inhibition showing interesting properties such as improvement of inhibitory potency and selectivity. We review herein the recent results highlighting the potential of multivalent nanoconstructs for the inhibition of different enzymes, and the emerging trends in the generation and identification of multivalent clusters as enzyme inhibitors.
