side chain for the enzyme urease. In addition to these basic elements, en-

zymes may become functional with the presence of many other mole-
cules. The Illinois University biologist Dr. Gary Parker, who was for-
merly an evolutionist but who is now an advocate of the fact of creation,
makes this remark about the enzymes' indispensable components:
When it comes to "translating" DNA's instructions for making proteins,
the real "heroes"' are the activating enzymes. Enzymes are proteins with
special slots for selecting and holding other molecules for speedy reac-
tion. Each activating enzyme has five slots: two for chemical coupling,
one for energy (ATP), and most importantly, two to establish a non-chem-
ical three-base "code name" for each different amino acid R-group. And
that is not the end of the story. The living cell requires at least 20 of these
activating enzymes I call "translases," one for each of the specific R-
group/code name (amino acid/tRNA) pairs. Even so, the whole set of
translases (100 specific active sites) would be (1) worthless without ribo-
somes (50 proteins plus rRNA) to break the
base-coded message of heredity into
three-letter code names; (2) destruc-
tive without a continuously re-
newed supply of ATP energy to Substrate
keep the translases from tearing
up the pairs they are supposed to
form; and (3) vanishing if it
weren't for having translases
and other specific proteins to
re-make the translase pro- H O
teins that are continuously
