Research Team Engineers a Better Plastic-Degrading Enzyme
- ggm 8y agoI'm a little uncomfortable with the use of the word 'evolved' in connection with the enzyme. Its an expression of something else's DNA, the other thing evolved, to express this enzyme, which because it had selective advantage, made it a functional evolutionary path. The way its used in the article, its like the enzyme did it, by itself. I don't think thats quite it for me. Also, I like these kinds of articles, but I always find myself thinking about every other time somebody had a breakthrough and how rarely we get told about the dead-ends. We need to be reminded of the negative result outcomes.
