Selection and evolution of enzymes from a partially
randomized non-catalytic scaffold

___________________________________________________________________________

WELCOME!

This web page was created by students enrolled in Honors Biology at the University of Arizona to summarize and help our peers understand an article from the scientific journal, Nature, coauthored by Burckhard Seelig and Jack W. Szostak titled “Selection and evolution of enzymes from a partially randomized non-catalytic scaffold”.

We would like to thank Dr. Matthew Cordes for his time and effort in mentoring our group and helping us to understand the article. We would also like to thank our instructors Dr. Elizabeth Willot and Dr. Kathleen Dixon, and David Kahrs for helping us learn web design.

We hope you enjoy our website and learn something along the way!
