Page 167 - The Miracle of Protein

ADNAN OKTAR (HARUN YAHYA) 165

Parts of a V-ATPaz protein, newly synthesized inside the cell, are first
marked like the parts of car and then transferred according to those marks.
After they are taken to their destination through a series of miraculous
processes, they are assembled and put to use.

Motor Control

If the proton pump works continuously, the pH level of the
environment will increase constantly, which could impair the
cell’s functions. In other words, the motor itself could have a
detrimental effect. However, the studies showed that V-ATPase
is kept under very strict control. This proton pump consists of
two special units so it can be stopped when necessary. These two

parts can be separated to stop the motor and rejoined together to
resume the pumps’ working. Needless to say, many different
proteins come into play to carry out these tasks. 76
