The folded polypeptide chain structure of a three-dimensional enzyme molecule

do away with the nonsense of evolution—as well as being major proof
that constantly displays the boundless might and power of Allah.
Enzymes take part in almost all an organism's chemical reactions,

speeding them in an extraordinary manner. But again, they emerge
from the reaction in the same state as they went into it—in other words,
they remain unaltered. Once the reaction has taken place, newly
formed molecules separate from the enzyme, and the enzyme contin-
ues on its way, ready to enter into still other reactions.
This feature is very important, because in this way, an enzyme is

able to enter into countless reactions inside the cell and is able to keep
the entire organism alive. In this way, hundreds of thousands of reac-
tions take place constantly every minute, inside every cell. 13
Every one of the 2,000 or so different enzymes in the human body
is able to catalyze a specific chemical reaction. Understandably, cells
