New Technology Proves Key to Parkinson's Disease Treatment

Taiwan has approximately 50,000 to 100,000 Parkinson's disease patients, but there is currently no cure. Levodopa is an important medication for treating Parkinson's disease, but its concentration is difficult to control. When the concentration is too high, it can cause side effects such as nausea and vomiting. A research team led by Professor Yi-Chun Yeh from the Department of Chemistry at National Taiwan Normal University has developed a new thermostable enzyme derived from the thermophilic bacterium Streptomyces sclerotialus. Using a red fluorescent signal, this enzyme can detect the presence of levodopa in just 30 minutes, potentially improving the safety of levodopa treatment.
