Radioisotope enzymes and cancer study

  • 1. Vietnam Atomic Energy Institute, Hanoi (Viet Nam)

Description

Cancer is a pathological sign, when abnormal cells appear in certain human tissues or organs. These cells can reproduce beyond the control of normal biological protection mechanism. Because they reproduce very fast, the metabolic process is accelerated, which causes an extreme need for more energy, substrate materials and catalyzing enzymes. Based on these needs, we can control the metabolic process by: a. Stopping the supply of energy; b. Stopping the supply of substrate materials to build up the cell structure; c. Stopping the catalysis process by breaking out the enzyme structure and/or inactivating the catalytic function of existing enzymes; d. Destroying the tumor cells by extraneous agents such as radiations and chemicals. All of these methods have been studied for a long time, with a lot of money and labor to be spent. Although we obtained some definite progress, the results are not satisfactory as yet. There are many reasons for this situation but the main one is a lack of enough information to understand the processes taking place in the cells and our body. However, as far as our study results, we would like to propose a method to break the structure and/or to inactivate the catalytic function of the enzyme by nuclear decay process. (author)
