"The element nitrogen is critical in the living world. It is a basic building block of structural and regulatory proteins, nucleic acids, and chlorophyll in plants.
There is a large group of versatile nitrogen-containing enzymes called aminotransferases (ATs) or transaminases.
They are designed to move amino groups (the building blocks of proteins) between amino acids and keto acids.
Their importance lies in the basic metabolism of people and animals (e.g., amino acid synthesis).
Recently, scientists published research in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences1 that Phys.org reports allegedly traces “the evolution of a specific enzyme family called aminotransferases (ATs).”
Yasuo Yoshikuni, a biologist at the Joint Genome Institute in Berkley,
California, stated, “It turns out that all of life created the minimum set of ATs that act together to create the robust network to supply amino acids fast enough for life to grow.”

That’s quite a statement, but there is no way to observe and verify how the set of ATs supposedly acted together to produce the healthy network. Creationists do not appeal to all of life creating ATs but to the Creator—who designed this finely-tuned, robust network.
Koper et al. said there was “biochemical diversity of the robust nitrogen metabolic networks that exist among various extant organisms” but attributed it to a cryptic “evolutionary trajectory.”

In other words, these enzymes appeared suddenly in creatures without any evolutionary precursors—exactly what the biblical creation model predicts.
Creationists recognize biochemical diversity in these nitrogen metabolic networks in creatures today as having been created in situ in the beginning."
