gollark: Encryption, I mean.
gollark: No, that's totally different and unrelated.
gollark: What?
gollark: IIRC you can't really make your own enzymes easily or edit them much, because they have weird folding stuff going on, and are hyperoptimized by billions of years (well, for some of them, just hundreds or tens of millions in others) of evolution for their particular tasks.
gollark: Not specifically for that, but practice exam questions?
