while it has good heat tolerance,the enzyme studied by McKenna's team isn't partic-ularly efficient
"You want it to do the reaction faster and more efficiently ,"Bhatt said"The fact that it has such a high thermal stadility makes it a good candidate for further study"
ldeally,Bhatt said,more research will produce a variant of the enzyme that is both heat-tolerant and fast-acting enough that it can be used in industrial settings
