Biological cells invest much of their resources into the production of enzymes, which catalyze the conversion of substrates into products. An international team of bioinformaticians and biophysicists, led by Prof. Martin Lercher from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU), discovered that these processes are most efficient at a certain relationship between the intracellular enzyme and substrate concentrations. They describe this discovery in the current issue of the journal PLOS Biology.
