🔬 Welcome to ARS Enzyme Week at Curetopia! This week, we’re focusing on a group of enzymes central to our research, the ARS family. These enzymes help keep your cells functioning, and when they stop working correctly, rare diseases can develop. No need to get overwhelmed, we will break it all down in simple, clear language. What are ARS enzymes, and why do they matter? ARS stands for aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. These enzymes are essential for life: they help build every protein in your body by attaching the right amino acid to the right tRNA. But when ARS enzymes break down, it’s not just about protein synthesis; they’ve been linked to rare neurological and developmental disorders. 🧬 At Curetopia, we’re focusing ARS genes like GARS1, AARS1, HARS1, and YARS1, screening for compounds that might rescue their function. Because if these enzymes hold the key to multiple conditions, then targeting them could bring about real change.
