Thanks to the accelerated evolution of proteins in the laboratory, we can create useful new molecules that might never have arisen in nature.
Nature is a fascinating creator. The evolution of creatures transpires over millions of years. During this time, biological organisms experience transformation and adaptation to their environment. This process, known as natural selection, ensures the survival and reproduction of the most effective organisms. Can this process be intentionally replicated and potentially accelerated in a laboratory setting? Due to sophisticated techniques in molecular biology, this capability is already available today.
