A New Strategy to Treat Gaucher's Disease: |
| Gaucher's disease is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by a dysfunctional enzyme, acid beta-glucosidase. Recently solved structures of this enzyme give insight into the molecular basis of Gaucher's disease and the potential for treatment with isofagamine, a small molecule that increases acid β-glucosidase enzyme activity. | |
