Biochemistry: Enzymes under the nanoscope
Anthony J. Kirby1 & Florian Hollfelder2
Abstract
Small-scale interactions of substrates with an enzyme's active site — over distances smaller than the length of a chemical bond — can make big differences to the enzyme's catalytic efficiency.
When Richard Feynman died in 1988, he left behind the following words on his blackboard: "What I cannot create, I do not understand." His message certainly resonates with protein engineers.
