New Software Dramatically Speeds Enzyme Design

This sounds great if it works as advertised. As so many others have said - Faster please! :)

ScienceDaily (Feb. 26, 2009) — A Duke University-led team has brought powerful software to the never-ending arms race between antibiotics and germs. Working together, computer scientists and biochemists have developed and laboratory-tested a computer program that can show experimentalists how to change the machinery that bacteria use to make natural antibiotics.
