Kinetics of drug protein of interest

Both our proteins of interest, PAH and cellulase, are enzymes to be released in the small intestines, after degradation of the capsule. As part of the study for our system, we would like to calculate the amount of enzyme a capsule must contain so that a PAH-replacement therapy or a grass-based diet becomes a feasible prospect.

A necessary step for this calculation is the estimation of the enzymatic activity of our enzymes of interest.

Rhe standard model for enzymatic action will be used to analyse the raw data (either the substrate concentration or the product concentration over time) gathered in the wetlab.
