- L-asparaginases are enzymes that convert L-asparagine into L-aspartic acid and ammonia, and they are important in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly for cancer treatments.
- Scientists are exploring yeast-derived L-asparaginases as an alternative to bacterial ones, which can cause adverse immune responses.
- The study focuses on a specific yeast enzyme, Lachancea thermotolerans, demonstrating that a mutant form of this enzyme shows increased activity and significant antileukemic potential compared to commercial bacterial versions.
Purpose Of The Study: Intertrochanteric hip fractures in elderly patients are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, with increasing incidence due to the aging population.
