Dr. Debashis Ghosh has announced that the crystal structure of human estrone sulfatase (ES) has been solved. ES is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of an inactive form of estrogen, the female sex hormone. It is one of the three enzymes responsible for maintaining high levels of active estrogen in tumor cells... | ||||||||||||||||||||
