What is the Importance of Metabolic Pathways in Catalysis?
Metabolic pathways are networks of biochemical reactions within living organisms. By understanding and manipulating these pathways through genetic modifications, it is possible to enhance the production of valuable metabolites. For example, optimizing pathways in microorganisms can lead to increased yields of biofuels, pharmaceuticals, or other commercially important chemicals. Genetic interventions can introduce new pathways or enhance existing ones to improve overall catalytic efficiency.
