Scientists crack how cells neutralize toxic byproducts of metabolism

Researchers mapped how a common cellular enzyme protects against dangerous reactive molecules produced during normal metabolism. The finding could unlock new drug targets for diseases tied to metabolic stress, from cancer to neurodegeneration, and improve how companies design therapies that exploit or mimic this protective mechanism.
