1. Protein cannot be synthesized without
enzymes, and enzymes are all proteins.
2. Around 100 proteins need to be present in order
for a single protein to be synthesized. There therefore
need to be proteins for proteins to exist.
3. DNA manufactures the protein-synthesizing
enzymes. Protein cannot be synthesized without DNA.
DNA is therefore also needed in order for proteins to
form.
4. All the organelles in the cell have important
tasks in protein synthesis. In other words, in order for
proteins to form a perfect and fully functioning cell
needs to exist together with all its organelles.
The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of
a cell and which stores genetic information, is a magnifi-
cent databank. If the information coded in DNA were
written down, it would make a giant library consisting of
an estimated 900 volumes of encyclopedias consisting of
500 pages each.
A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: DNA
can replicate itself only with the help of some specialized
proteins (enzymes). However, the synthesis of these
enzymes can be realized only by the information coded in
DNA. As they both depend on each other, they have to
exist at the same time for replication. This brings the sce-
nario that life originated by itself to a deadlock. Prof. Leslie
Orgel, an evolutionist of repute from the University of San
Diego, California, confesses this fact in the September 1994
issue of the Scientific American magazine:
