Entries into and departures from the cell
constitute a heavy traffic, which the cell mem-
brane is responsible for supervising. The membrane admits essential and
useful substances to the cell, while refusing entry to the others. Proteins are
the main elements of that traffic.
This activity is managed by an extraordinarily organized system. As
you know, the postal code was originated with the aim of sending mails
quickly to the correct destination, with the fewest errors and in the most ef-
ficient way possible, thus increasing the efficiency of communications be-
tween individuals and corporations. But recent research has revealed that a
similar mechanism exists inside the cell. 18
Proteins are synthesized by hundreds of “original” proteins combin-
ing according to various predetermined plans. One significant, chain-
shaped section that consists of between 10 and 30 amino acids comprises
the protein’s “postal code.” To put this another way, the postal code written
on any envelope consists of (depending on the country) a combination of
numbers and/or letters, while the “code” in any protein consists of various
amino acids. This code is located in one end of the protein molecule, or else
inside it. Thus every newly synthesized protein receives instructions re-
garding where it should go, and how to get there.
