Catalysis plays a crucial role in health research for several reasons:
Drug Development: Catalysts are used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, enabling the production of complex molecules in a more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly manner. Biocatalysis: Enzymes, which are natural catalysts, are often studied to understand metabolic pathways and develop enzyme-based therapies. Diagnostic Tools: Catalytic reactions are employed in developing diagnostic assays and imaging techniques that are essential for early disease detection and monitoring.
