It could do this by forming strong bonds with the activated complex, but only weak bonds with the reactants or products.
Linus PaulingI try to identify myself with the atoms ... I ask what I would do If I were a carbon atom or a sodium atom.
Linus PaulingIt will be possible, through the detailed determination of amino-acid sequences of hemoglobin molecules and of other molecules too, to obtain much information about the course of the evolutionary process, and to illuminate the question of the origin of species.
