How is Enzyme Engineering Relevant to Neonatal Disorders?
Neonatal disorders often involve metabolic dysfunctions due to enzyme deficiencies or malfunctions. Enzyme engineering can create tailored enzymes to replace or supplement these deficient enzymes, offering a potential therapeutic avenue. For example, disorders like Phenylketonuria (PKU) and Glycogen Storage Disease can potentially be treated using engineered enzymes that can perform the missing or defective biochemical reactions.
