Artificial enzyme sets record as it outperforms horseradish counterpart by factor of 12

Amazing stuff! This is perhaps only the beginning of synthetic, more effective enzymes!

"An artificial enzyme engineered by researchers in China is 12 times more efficient at catalysing a redox reaction than a natural enzyme found in horseradishes. It’s the highest efficiency any artificial enzyme has reached in surpassing a natural counterpart. ..."
