Researchers unveil first artificial enzyme

Raziskovalci v minnesoti so razkrili umetno ustvarjen encim, ki pa je nastal v procesu evolucije, samo pač v laboratoriju

je pa ekoliko drugačen od encimov, ki jih mi poznamo; menijo, da gre za bolj primitivno stopnjo

There's a wobbly new biochemical structure in Burckhard Seelig's lab at the University of Minnesota that may resemble what enzymes looked like billions of years ago, when life on earth began to evolve – long before they became ingredients for new and improved products, from detergents to foods and fuels.

"To my knowledge, our enzyme is the only entirely artificial enzyme created in a test tube by simply following the principles of natural selection and evolution," he says.
