Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Cancer remains a major health challenge worldwide, with metabolic alterations being a hallmark of cancer cells. Enzymes play a crucial role in regulating metabolic pathways, and understanding their specific roles in cancer metabolism can provide valuable insights for developing targeted therapies. This thesis investigates the role of specific enzymes in cancer metabolism, focusing on their impact on tumorigenesis, progression, and potential therapeutic opportunities. Chapter One provides an introduction to the study, presenting the background of cancer metabolism, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of terms. The Literature Review in Chapter Two explores existing research on enzymes involved in cancer metabolism, highlighting key findings and gaps in knowledge. Chapter Three details the Research Methodology, including the experimental design, cell culture techniques, enzyme assays, and data analysis methods. The Results and Discussion in Chapter Four present the findings of the study, analyzing the role of specific enzymes in altering metabolic pathways in cancer cells. The conclusion in Chapter Five summarizes the key findings of the study and discusses their implications for cancer research and potential therapeutic strategies. Overall, this research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on cancer metabolism, emphasizing the importance of specific enzymes as potential targets for cancer therapy.
