【 摘 要 】

Often described as one of the pinnacles of the modern man, engineering has been around since the dawn ofthe wheel. Contrived as it may seem, engineering is arguably just as much lazy asit is a hallmark of intelligent design—withreusable, well-characterized, compartmentalized components, engineering requiresonly the simplest of actions to achieve thedesired end result. Yet, if one wishes to seeengineering in its finest form, one must depart from man’s innovative domain to molecular biology and the fundamental principles that govern its host of functions.
