- Length, data, QPQ, and image rights check out. POV is balanced, not critical obviously, but serious. The article is well referenced with reliable sources. The first hook is the best, IMHO, but I rephrased it. (Who knows which was the "first" viral enzyme in pre-history? He was the first person to discover a viral enzyme.) Nice work!

- I see your point, the original is somewhat ambiguous. Alt0 is fine by me. Espresso Addict (talk) 13:37, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
