ABSTRACT:
In one aspect, biocompatible matrices such as sol-gels encapsulating a reaction center may be administered to a subject for conversion of prodrugs into biologically active agents. In certain embodiments, the biocompatible matrices of the present invention are sol-gels. In one embodiment, the enzymeL-amino acid decarboxylase is encapsulated and implanted in the brain to convertL-dopa to dopamine for treatment of Parkinson's disease.
