How Does Catalysis Contribute to Understanding the Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration?
Studying catalytic processes helps in elucidating the biochemical pathways involved in neurodegeneration. For example, understanding how certain enzymes catalyze the formation or degradation of amyloid-beta or tau proteins can provide insights into the pathological mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease. This knowledge can then be used to design targeted therapies that modulate these catalytic processes.
