PREVAILING PERFECTION VIEW. "The concept of perfection in the natural world was integral to pre-Darwinian rationalizations of nature as evidence of the designing hand of a providential Creator." https://lnkd.in/dqgy8Hd View in LinkedIn

TRANSCENDENTALIST VIEW. "Every particular in nature, a leaf, a drop, a crystal, a moment of time is related to the whole, and partakes of the perfection of the whole." (Ralph Waldo Emerson). https://lnkd.in/dXaHRqi View in LinkedIn

PERFECT FITNESS. "We speak of the perfection of nature but also, and even more frequently, of that of human productions, which we customarily call perfect when they are entirely in accord with the purpose for which they were produced." https://lnkd.in/dGdFrHS View in LinkedIn

PREVAILING VIEW. "On the uniformity and perfection of nature." (Philip Freneau,1815). https://lnkd.in/dKQSbZr View in LinkedIn

SELECTION OF THE PERFECT. "On the other hand, very many enzymes appear not to be involved in metabolic control...and for these we can ask to what extent the selective pressures of evolution have produced the perfect catalyst....In this Account we shall suggest one measure of perfection." http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ar50112a001 View in LinkedIn

CONFLICTED PERFECTION. "For some enzymes, there is going to be a conflict between changes that maximize catalytic effectiveness and changes that optimize control, and for these enzymes we may expect that some catalytic power has been sacrificed to the higher good of metabolic control." http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ar50112a001 View in LinkedIn

ENZYME PERFECTION. "Perfection in enzyme catalysis. During the last 10(9) years the structures of biological macromolecules have been refined and improved so as to optimize the functioning of the organisms that use them." (1976). https://lnkd.in/dv8GHqY View in LinkedIn

ENZYMATIC SALTATIONS. "Enzymes are erroneously considered exquisitely precise and efficient molecular catalysts. Natural enzymes are also evolvable: in other words, they can migrate through mutational trajectories to arrive at alternative catalytic activities, sometimes in unexpected saltatory fashion." https://lnkd.in/d3RnrBP View in LinkedIn

AWE AT REMARKABLE COMPLEXITY. "Photosynthesis: a thermodynamic perfection of nature." (1953). https://lnkd.in/dQ_h8_c View in LinkedIn

"PROTEIN CRYSTALS have been found to be more perfect as measured by their X-ray reflection rocking widths using collimated synchrotron radiation. The use of this parameter to assess the perfection of crystals grown by new methods, or in new environments such as microgravity, is important. Irradiation of protein crystals with X-ray almost invariably leads to a loss of perfection." (1988). https://lnkd.in/d5Vshm5 View in LinkedIn
