How is Catalysis Used in Treating Gaucher Disease?
Treatments for Gaucher disease often involve strategies to restore the catalytic activity of glucocerebrosidase. One effective approach is Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT), where patients receive infusions of a recombinant form of glucocerebrosidase. This therapy aims to supplement the deficient enzyme, thereby restoring the catalytic process that breaks down glucocerebroside.
