What are the Types of Catalysts Used in Drug Discovery?
There are several types of catalysts used in drug discovery, including:
Enzymes: Biological catalysts that operate under mild conditions and offer high specificity for substrates. Heterogeneous Catalysts: Solid catalysts that facilitate reactions on their surfaces, often used in industrial processes. Homogeneous Catalysts: Catalysts that are in the same phase as the reactants, typically used in solution-phase reactions.
