Today's discussion centers on protease enzyme inhibitors and their potential role in addressing food insecurity by enhancing crop yields. Sharon C dives into what these inhibitors are, how they function, and the significant impact they could have on agriculture, especially in regions struggling with food shortages. Sharon C stumbled upon this topic while researching for another project, and it sparked her interest because it ties together concepts from her AP Biology and AP Environmental Science classes, as well as her passion for plants. Listen in to explore the mechanics of enzymes and how inhibiting specific ones can protect crops from harmful pathogens, ultimately supporting a more sustainable food supply. Join Sharon C and special guest Ada G as they unpack the science behind this fascinating subject and its implications for our ecosystem and future food security.
