University of Kentucky Researchers Design New Enzymes Which Effectively Metabolize Cocaine



New enzymes that are highly efficient in metabolizing cocaine have been identified and designed by researchers at University of Kentucky. These high-activity cocaine-metabolizing enzymes could potentially prevent cocaine from producing physiological effects, and could aid in the treatment of drug dependency. The results of this study by Chang-Guo Zhan et al are published in the journal iPLOS Computational Biology/i. The effectiveness of the enzymes' ...
