Able Quote by Linus Pauling

Enzymes are masters of chemistry. They evolved over billions of years to perform specific biological functions. They make complex materials with virtually no waste.

— Frances Arnold

“For an enzyme to be functional, it must fold into a precise three-dimensional shape. How such a complex folding can take place remains a…

— T. Colin Campbell

Using the power of protein engineering and evolution, we can convince enzymes to take what they do poorly and do it really well.

— Frances Arnold

I wanted to make enzymes that would solve human problems, not just problems for a cell that makes them.

— Frances Arnold

Enzymes catalyze all the reactions of life. They're what allow you to extract materials and energy from your environment and turn that into muscle…

— Frances Arnold

The DNA-encoded catalytic machinery of the cell can rapidly learn to promote new chemical reactions when we provide new reagents and the appropriate incentive…

— Frances Arnold

By combining chemical, biochemical and physical techniques, it has thus become possible to investigate the nature of enzymic catalysis in a novel manner, complementary…

— John Cornforth

To solve a problem is to create new problems, new knowledge immediately reveals new areas of ignorance, and the need for new experiments. At…

— George Porter

The development of a rational view of the nature of catalysis was thus absolutely dependent on the creation of the concept of the rate…

— Wilhelm Ostwald

Life does depend on accurate replication of molecules, and its complexity often requires that an enzyme shall accept one molecular species or type and…

— John Cornforth

You have to act and this is something that happened in abstract expressionism too, it was a discovery particularly in De Kooning's paintings, great…

— Michael Snow

In your cells right now, an enzyme is making a copy of your dna in less than two hours, right in the nucleus.
