Scaling laws in enzyme function reveal a new kind of biochemical universality [Biophysics and Computational Biology]

All life on Earth is unified by its use of a shared set of component chemical compounds and reactions, providing a detailed model for universal biochemistry. However, this notion of universality is specific to known biochemistry and does not allow quantitative predictions about examples not yet observed. Here, we introduce...
