Enzymes

Enzymes are a biological catalytic molecular system with great diversity and highly specific functions, encompassing ten major functional categories: kinases, phosphatases, proteases, protease inhibitors, oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, ligases, and isomerases. As the core driving force of life activities, enzymes catalyze various chemical reactions such as redox, group transfer, hydrolytic cleavage, and isomerization rearrangement, finely regulating cell signal transduction, metabolic networks, and protein homeostasis. enzymes with functional aberrations directly involved in the occurrence and development of tumors, inflammatory disorders, metabolic disturbances, and neurodegenerative diseases, constitute a core field in disease mechanism research and drug development. Based on enzyme targets, inhibitors and activators have become an important component of modern precision therapy, widely applied in clinical treatment strategies such as anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic regulation.
