What Are the Applications of Understanding Transcriptional Catalysis?
Understanding transcriptional catalysis has profound implications in [biotechnology](#), medicine, and pharmacology. For instance: - Gene Therapy: By manipulating transcriptional pathways, scientists aim to correct genetic disorders at the molecular level. - Drug Development: Many drugs target transcription factors or RNA polymerase to treat diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disorders. - Synthetic Biology: Designing synthetic gene circuits relies on precise control over transcriptional processes.
