Inactivation research focuses on the processes and mechanisms that lead to the loss or reduction of biological activity in various systems, such as enzymes, viruses, bacteria, and other organisms. This field of study seeks to understand how inactivation occurs and how it can be controlled or prevented. Inactivation research is important for various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and water treatment, as well as in healthcare and environmental science. Scientists in this field may investigate factors such as temperature, pH, radiation, and chemicals that can cause inactivation, as well as methods to enhance or inhibit these processes.
