What Future Directions Might Catalysis Research Take?
Future research in catalysis could focus on the development of novel biocatalysts that can mimic or replace the function of defective mitochondrial enzymes. High-throughput screening methods and advanced computational tools can be employed to identify and optimize these catalysts. Moreover, interdisciplinary approaches combining insights from biochemistry, molecular biology, and material science could pave the way for innovative treatments for MELAS syndrome.
