When we talk of functional macromolecules (e.g. proteins as enzymes, hormones, receptors, antibodies etc.), towards what are they evolving?
Functional macromolecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides, have the capacity to evolve and transform into complex living organisms through a series of biochemical processes and evolutionary mechanisms. Over time, these macromolecules can interact and aggregate in ways that allow for the emergence of life forms with increasingly sophisticated structures and functions.
