Enzymes are fundamental to life. If we can figure out their design principles, it could have enormous applications for health and the environment. But they're very labor intensive to study. Can new microfluidic technology do for biology what the microchips did for computers? Herschlag & Fordyce- a match made at Stanford - may soon find out.
