Drugs that act as transition state inhibitors are known to have high binding affinity to their target enzyme, possessing binding tighter millions times than the substrate, a property inherent from the mechanism of the enzymatic catalysis proposed by Linus Pauling.

  This is attractive and I wonder if there any reasons, rather than selectivity consideration, by which the design of a transition state analogue inhibitor for some enzyme would be impossible, useless or of negative outcomes ? 

 waiting for your experienced and logical opinions ..
