To end this chapter on a more positive note, 1 should repeat that searching for adaptations that make particular enzymes best suited to their owners environments is not by any means a pointless exercise. Many years ago Ernest Baldwin wrote a book that attracted the attention of many biochemists to the interest and importance of comparing the ways different organisms cope with their environments. Since that time, Peter Hochachka and George Somero have devoted much of their careers to this subject and have discovered numerous interesting examples. However, entropy-enthalpy compensation is not one of them.
