The enzymes responsible for catalytic reactions in our
body’s biological reactions are difficult to use for diagnosis or
treatment as they react only to certain molecules or have low
stability. Many researchers anticipate that if these issues are
ameliorated or if artificial catalysts are developed to create a
synergetic effect by meeting the enzymes in the body, there will be
new ways to diagnose and treat diseases. In particular, if
artificial catalysts that respond to external stimuli such as
magnetic fields are developed, new treatment methods that remotely
control bioreactions from outside the body can become a
reality.
