Page 80 - The Miraculous Machine that Works for an Entire Lifetime: Enzyme

Harun Yahya

It is Almighty Allah Who equips them with all these abilities.

Allah calls upon people to reflect upon these facts they witness. Not to
forget the blessings bestowed by Allah and to think deeply about these
miraculous phenomena they see are some of human beings' most im-
portant responsibilities. Allah tells us of this in a verse:
Everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. He knows
what you are engaged upon. On the Day when they are returned to
Him, He will inform them of what they did. Allah has knowledge of all
things. (Surat an-Nur: 64)

E Enzymes' Working Conditions
n
d
Specific enzymes are charged with every chemical reaction in the
body. Since enzymes do not perform one another's work, a special en-
zyme charged with a specific duty has to be present on site. If enzymes
were used up and not renewed, there would be no other enzymes to re-
place them. As already mentioned, reactions also depend upon one an-
other, rather like dominoes. If one reaction fails to occur because of the
lack of an enzyme, then the whole chain will come to a halt. For exam-
ple, the absence of even a single enzyme that supervises the new chain
of DNA being copied will lead to faulty copying. Subsequent enzymes
will be unable to perform their own functions, producing flawed or
functionless DNA in the body.
Enzymes are able to operate only within a specific pH level and
temperature—generally between 30 and 70 degrees Centigrade, which
53
is known as "optimum temperature." This is a rather special tempera-
ture range, because the average internal temperature of the human
body is 36.5 degrees C, an ideal level for human enzymes to work.
Indeed, because of the sensitive conditions under which some enzymes
work, they demand a much narrower temperature range. Therefore,
the slightest change in body temperature can affect the functioning of
these enzymes. When the body feels freezing cold or has high fever, the
