The answer is enzymes.

Enzymes are macromolecular biological catalysts. Enzymes accelerate, or catalyze, chemical reactions. The molecules at the beginning of the process are called substrates and the enzyme converts these into different molecules, called products. Almost all metabolic processes in the cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates fast enough to sustain life.

The correct answer is this: Many of these drugs are designed to activate or inhibit ENZYMES.

Enzymes are the biological catalyst that increase the speed at which biochemical reactions take place in living things. Most enzymes are proteins. Rational drug design usually target enzymes because they take part in all biochemical reactions that occur in living organisms. By inhibiting or activating an enzyme, a drug can be designed to carry out a particular function or to have particular effects.

Answer:

Metabolic Engineering

Explanation:

Metabolic engineering refers to the process of modifying the genetic and enzymatic processes within cells in order to optimize the output of products. When constraints are noticed in the normal biological process, scientists endeavor to modify the constraints so that wide scale production can be realized.

Examples of processes that incorporate this technique are beer, cheese, wine and some drugs production.

Explain the roles of mRNA and tRNA in protein synthesis.
madam [21]
<span>Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) associates with a set of proteins to form ribosomes. These complex structures, which physically move along an mRNA molecule, catalyze the assembly of amino acids into protein chains. They also bind tRNAs and various accessory molecules necessary for protein synthesis.</span>
