How Can Catalysis Play a Role in Targeting Arginine Dependent Cancers?
Catalysis can be harnessed in several ways to target arginine dependent cancers. One of the primary methods involves the use of enzymes as biocatalysts to deplete arginine levels in the tumor environment. Enzymes such as arginine deiminase (ADI) and arginase can catalyze the breakdown of arginine, effectively starving the cancer cells and inhibiting their growth.
