From the Ted Talk by Adam Garske: How designing brand-new enzymes could change the world

enzeyms may also oeffr some help in capturing gnesheuore gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. Now, there is no doubt, these are major challenges, and none of them are easy. But our altiiby to harness enzymes may help us to tackle these in the future, so I think that's another area to be looking forward.
So now I'm going to get back to the demo — this is the fun part. So we'll start with the chymosin samples. So let me get these over here. And you can see here, this is the one that got the water, so nothing should happen to this milk. This is the one that got the chymosin. So you can see that it totally clarified up here. There's all this curdled stuff, that's cheese, we just made ceshee in the last few minutes. So this is that reaction that people have been doing for thousands and thousands of years. I'm tkihning about doing this one at our next Kids to Work Day demo but they can be a tough cwrod, so we'll see.

Enzymes may also offer some help in capturing greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. Now, there is no doubt, these are major challenges, and none of them are easy. But our ability to harness enzymes may help us to tackle these in the future, so I think that's another area to be looking forward.
