The Significance of Sugar in
Protein Folding

In the folding of certain proteins, sugar molecules are re-
quired. Sugar is added to and removed from the protein, during
the folding process. If the protein hasn't yet reached the final
stage in its folding process, one enzyme will recognize this and

add sugar to it. Sugar added to proteins will be recognized and
31
folded by special chaperone proteins. The use of sugar mole-
cules in the folding process of a protein, and the way that sugar

is added and removed by other proteins, is an astonishing mir-
acle of creation. How can a protein know if another protein is
folded the right way or not? Why would it bother to try to make
it right? Which atom thought of using the sugar molecules as a
marker? All these details point to the excellence of the intelli-

gence and information visible in the cell. It is apparent that the
owner of this infinite intelligence and knowledge is Almighty
God.
