DNA or cellular enzymes

The entry "DNA or cellular enzymes" refers generically to either the entire DNA molecule within cells or to the wide spectrum of enzymes functioning within cells. DNA serves as the genetic material and is the target of various anticancer and antiviral drugs via mechanisms such as intercalation, alkylation, or inhibition of DNA-processing enzymes like topoisomerases. "Cellular enzymes" refers to all enzymes catalyzing diverse biochemical reactions, classified into oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases, ligases, and translocases[2][4][6][8]. Both categories are implicated in numerous diseases and serve as the basis for a breadth of therapeutic targets, but referencing them as a single entity is overly broad and non-specific for most drug discovery or clinical applications.
