Enzymes are proteins that catalyze reactions that are necessary for life. Enzymes play such a fundamental role in life that many researchers are interested in how they originated and how they have evolved. They are composed of amino acids, a string of chemicals with specific properties, and these amino acids then fold to form a protein structure that l...
