Optimal Design Requires Precision
Specific enzymes play a crucial role in enabling virus components to function effectively by recognizing particular genetic sequences. The presence of inefficient cleavage sites, such as those found in the COVID virus, suggests evolutionary randomness rather than deliberate engineering. Historical experiments have shown that scientists favor optimal cleavage sites like RRKR to ensure successful function. The substandard nature of the COVID sequence indicates a deviation from best practices in design, implying a natural process rather than human intervention.
