THE MIRACLE IN THE CELL
Another miraculous aspect is that although an acid and a base
naturally react together when brought in contact, in the cell these two
substances display perfect cooperation and work together in harmony
to facilitate production-yet their coming together freely outside of the
cell spells destruction for both of them.
As always, this system has been planned in great detail, with all
manner of precaution. The DNA has been placed in the nucleus, the
safest of all places in the cell, and isolated by very sensitive and spe-
cial means from surrounding structures that might harm it. During the
DNA replication process, contact between the DNA and the enzyme
proteins occurs in such a controlled and measured manner that no
molecule is damaged, and both substances enjoy the highest produc-
tivity.
