Abstract

Since ancient times, enzymes have been widely used in a variety of sectors. Unfortunately, until the late 1950s, when scientists finally discovered the gold mine, they were sitting on, their potential as medicines lay dormant. The use of enzyme therapy for the treatment of numerous diseases, such as lysosomal storage disorders, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and hyperuricemia, has increased significantly during the past few decades. Gene therapy, the treatment of microbial infections, and wound healing are further uses for enzymes.
