The statement in the title has been around for decades and for decades people have treid to find these simpler proteins and now we learn (from the quoted text):
The paper, "The borderlands of foldability: lessons from simplified proteins," is a meta-analysis of six decades of protein research and reveals that ancient proteins may have been far more complicated and dynamic than previously thought.
I remember havin read Manfred Eigen's book on the topic in the 80's, and it seemed like some success in creating a working hypercycle (self-replicating and working "cell"😉 was imminent. But since those days wwe have learned a lot, and realized we still have lost to learn.
@Ponderable saidAnd that is as it should be, life is way more complex than we used to think now that we see on the nanoscale inside cells.

@Ponderable saidIt seems all the answers to these problems now is "let computers figure it out".
