The shape of an enzyme is important in its ability to function. Enzymes are used in processes in the Central Dogma to create polypeptide sequences. Choose one of the enzymes in one process in the Central Dogma. Explain how the ability of this enzyme to function could be changed. Then, explain how that process of the Central Dogma would be affected by this change
