“I call it competitive inhibition of enzymes. Let me give you an example of how it works. Think of the enzyme produced by the defective gene as a wrong key which fits into the chemical lock of the central nervous system—but won’t turn. Because it’s there, the true key—the right enzyme—can’t even enter the lock. It’s blocked. Result? Irreversible destruction of proteins in the brain tissue.”
