118 THE MIRACLE OF PROTEIN

Preventing Unwanted Folding of
Proteins During Sensitive Deliveries

As explained, in order for the proteins to fold and carry
out their duties, they need to assume their three dimensional
forms. However, every stage of this process is kept under strict
control. Other proteins escort proteins during their long jour-
neys to their posts. One of those proteins is HSP70. This pro-
tein prevents the molecule from being folded in an uncon-
trolled manner. This way, it is kept in the proper form so that it
can later pass through the organelle membrane because three
dimensional forms, cannot pass through certain membranes

such as the rough endoplasmic reticulum. There is no room for
trial and error in keeping the proteins in the right form so that
they can go through the membrane. Because if excessive pro-
teins are not immediately removed from the cell, the cell will
die due to toxicity. However, this does not happen because pro-
teins and cells are created to work in perfect synchronization
and harmony. This is another proof of the cooperation, metic-

ulous engineering, and foresight in the cell. Clearly, these can-
not be the result of coincidences and obviously unconscious
atoms cannot design such systems. The wisdom in every detail
of the cells is the infinite wisdom of God.
