Page 119 - The Miracle of Protein

ADNAN OKTAR (HARUN YAHYA) 117

The three letters in the table on the previous page are ab-
breviations for amino acids. The first column has the addresses
that correspond to the sequences. Every organelle inside the cell
has address regions and receptors that recognize these signal
sequences. After the receptors take delivery of the proteins,
they deliver them to their final destination and return to their

posts. Furthermore, special enzymes called signal peptidase
cleave the address region on the proteins.
Inside the cell, there exists a digestive system called the
lysosome. We can compare this organelle to the stomach of our
bodies. It contains a large amount of digestive enzymes. How-
ever, some of these enzymes are dispatched to the lysosome or-
ganelle using a very special technique. With the help of two en-
zymes, a sugar molecule called mannose and one phosphate
molecule, that are attached to molecules which should go to the

cell’s stomach. Now, the enzyme is carrying the address infor-
46
mation. This can be compared to writing address on the enve-
lope of your letter that you deliver to a post office. This sugar
molecule will be later recognized by special receptors on the en-
doplasmic reticulum and enzymes that are dispatched to the
lysosome as a package. In other words, various methods are
used to specify addresses. However, address tags will work only

if they can be recognized. Address tags are equipped with re-
ceptor and carrier proteins that recognize the package in its in-
tended destination. If the address proteins hadn’t been recog-
nized in their destination, none of these stages would have
meant anything and the protein would be useless despite all the
painstaking effort. As in thousands of other examples, this sit-
uation clearly proves that all of the units must have been creat-
ed concurrently; that a gradual coming into being does not
work, but sudden creation in one moment, with God’s com-

mand ‘Be,’ does.
