Design in the Tubulin Molecules
The structure of the nine separate straws (micro-tubules) making
up the micro-hairs is exceedingly systematic. As already stated, the
micro-tubules are made up of tubulin proteins. The molecules com-
prise the tubulin are in the form of cylindrical bricks or beads set on
top of one another. But unless cylindrical bodies are attached when
piled on top of one another, the slightest pressure is enough to break
them apart.
If the surface of one side of the molecule did not match the side of
another, they might well suffer such a collapse. Yet that never actually
happens, because the tubulin molecules rather resemble food tins,
which have small depressions in them that allow tins to be easily
stored on top of one another. And even if you knock one of the tins,
the rest will not come tumbling down.
Yet tins having the proper design is not enough. If they're placed in
such a way that their bottoms face other bottoms and tops face tops,
