Protoenzymes: The Case of Hyperbranched Polymer-Scaffolded ZnS Nanocrystals [PDF]
Life, 2020 Enzymes are biological catalysts that are comprised of small-molecule, metal, or cluster catalysts augmented by biopolymeric scaffolds. It is conceivable that early in chemical evolution, ancestral enzymes opted for simpler, easier to assemble scaffolds.
