摘要
Aside from the demonstration that individual molecular traits of enzymes can be evolutionarily optimised, the discovery that several traits can be simultaneously optimised is a major advance. The first observations of the effects of evolutionary optimisation at the structural level, through X-ray crystallography, reinforce the view that enzymes are best optimised by evolution and not by design.
