Are There Any Therapeutic Applications of Glycosidases?
Glycosidases have therapeutic applications, particularly in the treatment of genetic disorders like Gaucher's and Fabry's disease, where enzyme replacement therapy is employed. In cancer therapy, specific glycosidases are explored for their potential to modify tumor cell surfaces and enhance immune recognition. Furthermore, glycosidase inhibitors are being developed as drugs to treat diabetes and viral infections, showcasing the dual role of these enzymes in both pathogenesis and therapy.
