122 THE MIRACLE OF PROTEIN
Transportation with Vesicles
(Carrying in Bags)
Protein traffic, the direction of the proteins to the correct
addresses, is a miraculous event. The topic is so complex, that
scientists knew that new discoveries in this area would be a
surefire way to a Nobel prize. Indeed, in 2013, three scientists;
James E. Rothman, Randy W. Schekman and Thomas C. Süd-
hof were awarded with Nobel Prize for their discovery of an-
other transportation method that the proteins use called:
‘transportation with vesicles’. 50
The transportation of proteins must be as precise as their
synthesis. These scientists found out that, one method placed
the proteins inside a package called a ‘vesicle’ and then tagged
it with various signal proteins. The vesicular transportation sys-
tem that particularly makes up the backbone of both the extra-
cellular hormonal system and nervous system is frequently
used. This way, proteins and other materials, if any, are deliv-
ered to their destinations without being harmed.
An Important Truth Revealed by
Protein Synthesis
The stages of the protein synthesis also reveal one impor-
tant truth: the manufacture of a single protein molecule re-
quires hundreds of different proteins and enzymes. In addition
to these, many molecules and ions stand ready and waiting to
do their part. In other words, proteins cannot come into being
without the presence of many other proteins. That being so,
how could the very first protein have come into being?
This is the point where the theory of evolution collapses.
Evolutionist biologist Carly P. Haskins described this deadlock
of evolution in an article in American Scientist:
